10tp 1:25 Wak

[Johnny]

Got a few new kits today.
First out is the 10TP 1:25 from WAK.

Some nice info about the vehicle here
http://www.geocities.com/pibwl/10tp.htm

The booklet


Parts count is 1196.
The kit contains 14 pages.
First pages is the info and instructions in Polish together with 2 pages of drawings.


Next is a page with formers


Now 7 pages with parts follows

[Johnny]

Then some more drawings and pictures follows.


My first impression is that this is another great model from WAK
The colors are really good! The parts have the thinnest black outlines I have seen.

Then we move to the extras....
Laser cutted wheels


Laserframes


Laer drivewheels


More formers and wheels


And at last we have the laser "tracks"


This tank can be built with or without tracks.
I think I go for the tracks

Those sheets of wheels/tracks always scare me

[CharlieC]

If the 10TP was anything like the Russian BT tanks the tracks were carried on the top of the hull when the vehicle was running on wheels. That is - you might model it running on wheels but you still have to build the tracks.

The Christie tracks elements were very simple - just a hinged square plate - I've often thought modeling BT tanks is a good introduction to 1/25 AFV modelling because the tracks are simple.
