discussion Dave's Revell 1:72 T90 MBT

[Guest]

Stepping out of my comfort zone on this as I mainly build cars, aircraft and figures and this is a tank with tracks and lots of wheels. The sprues are packed with parts and the detail looks to be very good.


Photo time


Photo one the box.

I'll start this soon but as I have a stinking rotten cold at the moment so will get that out of the way first.

These Revell kits build into nice models. the Stug in my resting Tankies diorama is a Revell kit.

 

[PaulTRose]

i agree......the revell kits are excellent, i did a Leopard that was a joy to put together

 

[Guest]

That's supposed to be a really nice kit Dave & one that I may try so I'll watch yours with great interest

 

[papa 695]

It does look a very good kit Dave

 

[Guest]

I had a look online to see if there were any extras for this kit and I found this.

And thought for a couple of quid it was worth a punt.


Now having made the kit barrel I'm not sure which to use.


View attachment 102782



The kit barrel is shorter, still not sure.


Anyway I've made a start got all the wheels done just need to clean them up and then it's track time.

Another update....


Construction completed, it will need a bit of filler here and there but on the whole I have got to say for such a small scale there was a lot of parts and it all went together very nicely.

Looks great David, that's definitely one I've got to do!


I'd use the ali barrel, it looks better IMHO

 

[Guest]

Looks great David, that's definitely one I've got to do!

Patrick. it truly is a good kit if you build one take your time, as there are loads and I mean loads of parts, just to build the turret takes 22 stages. Be careful with the tracks as you will need to bend them.


Other than that yeah get one.


As for the barrel "noted"

 

[flyjoe180]

Nice work so far David. I'd go for the metal barrel too.

 

[Guest]

Thanks joe

 

[papa 695]

That's taking shape very nicely David, And I also would use the metal barrel

 

[Guest]

Thanks Ian
