T-10M Heavy Tank (WIP)

Bart Goesaert
Nice start, I think for the manufacturers it's not always easy to choose the attachment points on a part. A lot of factors come into play that determine the quality of the mold (I sometimes design molded parts IRL, and it's sometimes a bit of giving and taking to get it right...)

Vou acompanhar. O kit parece muito bom a julgar pelas imagens.

@Bart, for sure, but, nevertheless, in this case it generates points where cleanup is very difficult, if not impossible; @Hugo, sim, estou a gostar, à parte da limpeza de alguns seam lines e sprue gates, mas é um modelo lindíssimo. 👍

Watching!!!

Um kit sem linhas de molde não é um kit. Pelo menos eu não conheço.
Finalmente um blindado 1/35 que embora não seja de minha época preferida, tenho a certeza que vamos ter um belo modelo para apreciar Ricardo.

Ooh a T-10, lovely! I'll be keeping an eye on this one. 🙂

Thanks Mates. 🙂

@Rui S, obrigado. De facto são comuns, mas no Mark I da Takom não me lembro de ter nem metade do trabalho de limpeza.

Rui S
Pois, entendo, os moldes mais antigos (o que não sera o caso) são normalmente piores.

Added the white strippes using Ammo's Washable White Camo - very nice paint, extremely quick to cover the base green

Looking good! Let me know how the tracks go when you get to those, they are what is putting me off the kit. 🙂

Rui S
Está com bom aspecto. As linhas brancas tb. 👍 O verniz acetinado q usaste antes dos óleos é acrílico?

Ricardo Reis Autor
Obrigado. Usei o X-22 da Tamiya.

Looking very good! Can't wait to see it in final shape (and color). I see you were brave enough to try enamel-based products on the tracks. I've heard (and seen) some horror stories with enamel + workable tracks from Meng (the plastic conexions are so small and fragile that enamel melted them and people ended up with the whole track unraveling before their eyes 🙁 )

Thank you. So far, all is going well, no strange reactions. I'll continue to post the updates, almost closing the build.

Looking forward ........

Ricardo Reis Autor
Yes, almost finished! 🙂

Hi all. Finished the T-10M, posting the final photos in a separate album in this same project. Thank you for following and for your comments during the build.
