Description
Thanks for the great kit, it's been a real giving some old shabby leman russ tanks a bit of a glow up! Just in case anybody's in the same boat as me I learned a couple of useful things.
Firstly it's perfectly possible to print these in FDM and they look very reasonable.
Secondly, I wasn't aware that the Leman Russ kit had been subtly changed at some point so finding a version of the turret included which accounted for the larger momunting point on my old kits was amazing. However many of the other parts still wont work on the older model without some additional effort, in case anybody is in a similar position to me these are:
> The front hull plate sits at a very slightly different angle (leaving a gap) and on the old tank requires the front sponson mounting points to be shaved away.
> To fit the side sponsons you have to shave away the door and old sponson mounting points.
> The rear of the old model is vertical vs the new one which is slightly angled so the trench rails will not fit.
None of these things should put you off getting this kit though as its more than possible to overcome each of these things and the results are great!
