Wouter,
MiniArt make detailed models - VERY detailed, with hundreds of tiny pieces - over-engineered, in my opinion, but if you want the definitive T-54 with interior OOB for example, then MiniArt make it!

This looks well detailed with the sprues tightly packed together in cellophane and the plans in colour as well

 

[Dave Ward]

One of the big problems with MiniArt is detail that will be invisible.......................View attachment 301098View attachment 301097

These are from the MiniArt AEC Mk II, unless you leave the top plates, and the suspension guards loose, then all this is hidden

I see what you mean Dave. The stug kit seems to have a very complex suspension. The interior does not seem as well done compared to the Dragon A kit. However will have to do some digging/research before starting.

Should be fun lol

Hi Bob
"It's a Stug life for me" too.
Can't beat a good Stug
Your previous comment has reminded me I have an A 2nd production run kit bash somewhere to finish!
I must post the 10.5 G soon.
The more Stugs and Pz I's the better

Well done sir, another Stug nut :smiling: we could form the Stug society and hold meetings in a phone box (if you can find one) :thumb2:

Look forward to the build Steve:tongue-out: I have another kit of the dragon A and it comes with a lot of the parts for the 2nd A version, different transmission hatches etc

If you need any help/info on the mighty Stug let me know, always glad to help:thumb2::thumb2:

well,look what ,I got from,evilbay for a whole,$19.oo ,the hard part will be getting it in,my hardhead to wear it,
much better than a paper mask,
and pickup up some cheap clay to work 0on my sculpting as well,
so a happy shopper ,:smiling:
reeal for you guys who,don,t use/wear a face mask,please do ,or get like me after years of work,with lungs full of vallejo paint and other rattle can,
real it,s a must,:rolling::smiling::thumb2:

Good choice, not some cheap rubbish , remember the filters do have a use by date. Not the end of the world if you don't as your only using Vallejo. I wash mine out having removed the filters just gives a more pleasant feeling. Tip , when you call smell the fumes as you are wearing then its time to change, also the amount of debris on the filter face is a good indication as well .

At € 35,00 delivered, I couldn't resist this evilbay auction. Lord knows the stash didn't need it either, but........

The Zimmerit is made of plastic and hopefully attaches with normal glue. There is no mention of it anywhere in the kit........
View attachment 301558
Some of the kits smaller parts have the Zimm molded on the piece. I love the large attachment points and there is quite a bit left over to maybe use on another kit!!!
Prost

Good choice, it’s a nice kit and would look good next to the P38

 

[peterairfix]

Been trying to find one of these kits for a while done one in my misspent youth but not very well so didn't last long.
And it may end up in a different liveryView attachment 301971
