35064 TAMIYA Leopard I

An old, well-known set from Tamiya. In some places it’s simple to the point of primitiveness, and in others it will give some modern manufacturers a head start... Well-known holes in the same bottom for an electric motor... voids above the tracks in the front part (they are not visible after assembly, holes behind the drive wheel sprocket... I sealed everything with plastic from the doshirak + added furniture putty. The entire chassis has already been cast directly on the body (though for some reason, except for the front and rear springs, for some reason they decided to give them separate parts, no different from the cast ones)), all that remains is to put on the wheels.. All the assembly diagram is one and a half pages... I set myself a goal - to somehow practice weathering...

    It may seem that I went a little too far with the dirt, but that was the goal - according to legend, the car was after a long forced march. For example, after a big exercise...

    Painting is basic Tamiya Olive Drab. Everything else is ZIP Maket.

    From the improvements:

    -the lens in the IR flashlight (or whatever it is on the tower) - from a contact lens

    -the bottom in a turret basket is plastic from a doshirak

    - periscopes - CD disc

    - tarpaulin - paper from a shoe box

    - antennas - drawn sprues
