T28 1:25 DrafModel
Another kit from DrafModel. DrafModel has proven to be one of the best designers.The Pak40 and the LeFh are both something I call a 100% kit.
Everything fits....no need to trim any parts. very few designers can beat this. So my expectations for this T28 are really high. I will also give a lot of thanks to Rafal for this great model!!  When starting a new model I also have a chance to clear my workshop a bit... First pic shows the desk at the final stages of the P51...second pic shows present stage!!   So the build starts with a fresh workbench.  The hull was first out. Drawing  Frames put together. This will as we can see be a big model

Continuing with skinning the hull.
 Also started on the front hatch, that looks like an escape tunnel!   Parts to fit in the gaps under the upper leadwheels....I'm going to need an awful lot of nuts....   And some nuts....needed

The driver's front plate looks like a perfect aiming point - what were they thinking? At least it looks as if the crew had a chance of bailing out of a T-28 - unlike the T-35.

Started on the turret.
The drawing  The assembly of the frames for the main turret went very well.   Next was the top skin that will be covered on the sides with another skin part.   Top skin is on, and the flips are bent over the rounded edge and glued.  Next was the side skin....the other part will be glued tomorrow.  All stiffeners for the sideskirts are done.  And in between I'm placing nuts and bolts......

How are you distinguishing between rivets and nuts? The T-28 seems to have been built on the principle of riveting everything that wasn't field removable. My impression from the existing museum vehicles it would be quite a chore to figure out whether a fastening should be a rivet or a bolt/nut. I think the attached image, borrowed from jagdtiger.de shows this on the side of the engine deck.
