BT wheels

The next noticeable part of the tank is its chassis. It is clearly divided into two components – rollers and tracks. Thank God, there is no conversion / upgrade dualism here – everything here is a replacement for the factory one.

Let’s start with the rollers, because, as we know, it is this tank that can do without tracks.

One of the fairly recent products is a set from the Russian A-Resin

But the kits from the Japanese Modeling Artisan Mori, on the contrary, are quite old.

In addition, they are no longer produced (not even listed on the site), but are still being sold.

That’s like everything. Not very much.

 

While we have not gone far from the skating rinks, let’s look at the masks for painting them. The Polish QuickWheel with its reusable products is an undoubted phenomenon in this field.

Another Russian Microdisign in some of its kits gives an etched stencil, but more on that later

I myself am a rather lazy person, so at least ask my wife, but with such a device

I cover all my needs in this area. Moreover, I have a couple of them – it’s convenient to cut the rings: set it up and know yourself to wind the circles!

Why buy masks – I do not understand. But that’s my personal opinion.

 

 

PS Not all riddles I have listed in previous issues. There is still. Does anyone have an idea what might be listed under the designation BT-3 in the product of the American Commander Series Models?
