1/35 T-55AM by Ryefield

[Darkhorse]

Haven't been around for a while, busy at the bench or dealing with shitbox cars having catastrophic engine failures! LOL....
Anyway, this is the Rye field T-55 kit and what a nightmare it was. The parts are very fragile, but the moldings are great, the fit is mostly good. with very little putty applied. The worst part and if you get this kit ( I don't know about the others....) the parts are misnumbered on some of the assemblies, in particular the running gear, very confusing and nearly caused a wall collision, it didn't but it took a lot of work to fix up.
The tracks have real tiny plastic pins that the carpet really enjoys and once in the track have all the holding power of a politician at your taxes. I wish I could have replaced them with a metal set (maybe in the future).
The gun is okay, but I replaced that with a metal one.
Once you get it all together it looks really nice, I opted for the Naval Infantry version, it took about 4 goes before I was okay with camo, the figure is a knockoff from alia express, and I still have to finish the commander off in the other hatch.
But anyway, here it is gents....

Seems my pics are too big....how does one fix that?

I just got one of these myself so I will be watching with interest.

Try taking the picture a little farther away and then crop it. It works for me. Gary S.

If the image is over 100mega pix the server rejects it and there's no setting I can change to correct that. For file size?

I mean how big is the image?

I always resize my photos to no more than 1280x 960. That will show to a max size on the site and keeps the file size in the 300k range. Anything larger is a waste as the photo will only show to a max number of pixels online. By having smaller resolution files they don't clog up the downloads either.
