this is the TP model resin kit of the BT-7. There are maybe better injected plastic BT-7s available out there, but it was a bargain and I wanted to try a resin kit.
Unfortunately due to long storage there were some damages that had to be fixed first. The front left side seemed to have had some kind of accident and had to be repaired:
The wheels were assembled using steel wire to reinforce the joint, especially in the rebuilt front wheels area:
The tracks were replaced by PE tracks as I was not optimistic about the track lenghts that were supplied with the kit. Maybe they would have worked just fine, but I was too afraid
As resin dust is unhealty anyways and it was summer, I had 2 nice afternoons outside in the garden
:
A base was made from house insulating foam and the lone surviving member of the childhood revell soviet infantry set MG team now has to pull the Maxim MG alone...
The decals are the 2nd option from the Revell reissue of the Matchbox T-34, my son has built the 1st option and kindly donated his spares
Thanks for looking
KM
