Photo Review: Zvezda's 35 scale T-35 Tank

[Sharkmouth]

A huge box with surprising few different sprue trees.

Four trees of these are included.

Above and below, two of these are included.

One of these are in the box.

Again, only one.

Nice but simplified details on the hull. some work with bolts, screws, and welds are in order.

Clear lenses, tow cable, and decals.

It will be a nice simple build. I already have replacement barrels for the weapons.

That's a huge dang tank man!

Thanks Saul

The important thing is how do the parts fit together = good fit or terrible fit?

I'd like to get and build one just as a curiosity to show the thinking about tanks and their role in between the wars.

Cheers

Well, this kit was bought to replace my ICM kit which was damaged. I will not be building it anytime soon. I have been building Zvezda's MiG-29 9-13 which is of the same production time. The Fulcrum is a pleasure, and with a bit more refined details than this tank.

Well, this kit was bought to replace my ICM kit which was damaged.

It turns out I replaced the ICM kit with another and an Eduard PE set plus JS-Models resin mantlets with barrels, aluminum barrels (Jordi Rubio? CMK?) to replace the resin JS-Models barrels, and ICM 45mm ATGs to add breech detail and bolster the ammunition! Oh well, the goodies can be adapted to this kit. I haven't seen Hobby Boss' kit to know which is best.

The ICM kit does have a driver's seat and engine which I will place in the Zvezda kit. I will probably then get rid of the remainder of the ICM kit once I use its interior.
