So... I'd give this kit a 6.5 to 7 outta 10... It's beautifully detailed and very crisp but it does have its failings......

CortexAppreciate the commentary, I have this kit and I will keep watching your updates to get tips on how to approach mine. Thanks!

Eddy MarshallCheers Cortex... It's certainly no Tamiya kit but it's building up quite impressively... The instructions are a little vague now and then on some very small parts... The road wheels and suspension has the potential to go all outta alignment so keep a straight edge nearby... Clean up of the sprue gates has been a bit of a chore now and then also - some really odd choice of placement and size but for the most part it's pretty good especially on the small peices which made life easier..... The kit needs a little more finessing and thought invested in it but it has been quite enjoyable and looks pretty darn impressive...

CortexI agree, it really looks pretty impressive and you've done great job.
If you are a T-55 fan (like myself) I'd highly recommend doing the new T-55A kit from Ryefield Model, it's perfect in every way and from the feedback you gave on Takom .. RFM outperforms Takom by miles, I've enjoyed mine so much.

Eddy MarshallCheers Cortex... It's coming along nicely... I did spot the Ryfield Models new release... But I had this one rolling around in the stash... Who knows the stash may requre another one..! Lol
