CTA Entry - Dragunov - T-70M Early

Hi Erik,

Great progress. When I read the title, T-70M Special Edition, I thought the box came with the articulating (workable) tracks. If not, what makes this a 'Special Edition?"

Regards,

Hi Saul,

Only the inclusion of the PE parts makes this a "special edition", the first T-70M and T-80 kits didn't have PE parts included, but with a later kit, 35039 GERMAN ARTILLERY TRACTOR T-70(r) AND 7,62cm FK 288(r) w/CREW PE parts were included.

So I think they wanted to include the PE to there T-70 and T-80 kits to, but to mark the difference between the "early" T-70 and T-80 kits and the ones including PE they called them "special edition", just my thoughts :idonno

But the inclusion of the new articulating tracks would have made it a real special edition.

After looking at the MiniArt site again, the special edition T-70M kit also includes parts to build an "early" or a "late" production model.
