50t Tank Transporter

Kevin, I am trying to work out who's 50t Tank Transporter it is, Korean, or Chinese. ?
It's a huge project. 🙂 👍

It's Chinese, Kerry. It's a Hanyang HY 473 early model Tank Transporter. I think the Pakistanis use it too, and Albania might have received a few of these, but I'm really not certain. The Trumpeter kit is really nice for one of their earlier efforts, but there are a couple ommissions. One is a lack of detail on the inside doors, the other is the lack of a lip on the inside of the wheel rims, which causes the tires to slip. It comes with the parade whitewalls only, but it looks like they were often used in service.

Iraq may have had some of these pre GF1

Thanks Kevin, and I am most grateful for all the technical info mate.
It certainly is a large kit by the looks, and like my dio, a thing that is hard to find a resting place for :-/
Cheers. 🙂
