I am not him, I do not claim to be a masterpiece, but I will have to cut off all the unnecessary things too.
I began to remove the printed supports with apprehension, because I had never had to deal with such a pile of supports before.
Visually, in the reflection – the layers are visible, but when you run your fingernail – you can’t feel them. Let’s see what happens after priming.
Of course, I immediately put the towers together.
The supports are quite brittle and fragile, which is good, but they leave a lot of garbage. If it weren’t for the small vacuum cleaner I bought earlier, especially for modeling, it would be really bad.
There is a little more than half a minute between the frames.
Let’s continue.
I also immediately put the body halves together.
Side screens.
Chassis elements.
I didn’t unpack the small stuff completely, so as not to lose it by accident.
As a result, I got two heaps of printed plastic, comparable in size. I’ll keep one of them and throw the other one away. The main thing is not to mix them up!
Again, I tried to put everything together. That’s why I don’t like printed models, it’s the small number of parts. After all, for me the key to the hobby is assembly, not painting or ownership.
The crooked alignment of the tracks is due to the lack of support rollers. They cannot be attached without glue.
Overall, it is clear that even the outlines of the tank are far from the usual. I just happened to have two models of normal tanks at hand, which allowed me to verify the non-standard nature of the model.
