In an effort to finish off some shelf queens I've decided to pull this one down. Started it a couple of years ago but ran out of mojo. The Trumpeter T-72B  And this is where I left off. Don't let it fool ya, that's about 230 parts assembled! upload image free google   |

OK, after about a hundred more parts this is where I'm at. Tracks are Miniarm resin. First time I've tried using them and I think they'll be OK. Very little clean up needed and they just click together. The fit isn't consistent with some fitting nice and snug with others a bit loose.   Now on to the big shooty and shooty box. Now look as this stuff. See all those little round indentations? Well there is 93 of them and there is a PE part for each and everyone! Talk about tedious! Oh well.  |

Tracks look good John. I've read about all of those little brass pieces that go in the recesses before ......  Good luck my friend ! |

I used MiniArm tracks on mine as well, they worked just fine. Better than the indies the kit gives you for sure. The PE disks are painful but they go pretty quick once you get rolling.
Nice work especially with all that hateful PE
Regards,
Mark
