Very cool! It's always great to see something a little different here. Yes

The SLA APC has unique wheels and drive sprocket to the other two kits which require modification to the differential housing.

 

Then some filing and removal of various suggested details for each kit.

 

Thanks for looking in ...

That's pretty slick, Sprue! Great idea. I'll have to try that on my next tank build.

I've read a lot about SKIF T-55 kits and know they aren't accurate or detailed correctly. SKIF is the only company that made these three variants in plastic so I couldn't pass these up. 

They'll be OOB without AM products included. 

A group build on another site motivated me to start these and I have until May to complete Cool 

 

I started with the lower hulls and they all fit poorly but that's what putty is for 

This also dictates that they'll be strictly Curb Side models Wink 

 

 

34 more sets to go if you include the idlers Indifferent
