hivelocWatching this- I will be tackling the slat armor on a T-62 myself some day!

André SilvaThank you @Villiers de Vos and @hiveloc. @hiveloc so that you know just today (like 5 minutes ago) I decided I will never assemble PE slat armor again in my life! It sure looks good but i'm never going through that again.

Bart Goesaertlooking great... ah slat-armor. a pain to assemle, but it is looking nice. Did you glue it with CA? Tried that too, but is is very delicate to handle afterwards. Found that soldering is more resilient... (Terminator Tundra | Album by Silenoz (1:72))
Once you get the hold of it is still time consuming..

André Silva@Bart Goesaert I use VMS CA Flexy Glue (not sure if that's the name), of the regular and slow curing type and have no complains about it.
Yes even you get the hold of it it's still time consuming and dificult, just less so.
11 February 2023, 16:54
hivelocThanks Andre and Bart for discussing the CA vs. soldering. This why I haven't started my T-62 yet- I was debating whether to proceed with CA, or take the time and brush up on my soldering. Both of you have done fantastic work using either method.

Jonathon HerringVery nice. Soldering is way better for adhesion. I have done both and the soldering holds up to my meat hooks much better. This is coming from a novice in "tinning" skills. Just my 2cents from the peanut gallery. 🤔 2 cents for peanuts? Cheaper than groceries and seems to be unaffected by inflation 😏 LOOPHOLE!

Michael KohlInteresting build.
I did a slat armour and got away with gluing. But next time I will try to solder. Particularly if you want to replicate damage the soldered parts behave much more natural.

André SilvaThank you for your comments Mark, Jonathon and Michael. About soldering, you're right but since I dont intend on ever doing PE slat armour again i'll use glue on this one and fight the urge to touch the model after completion. I have a T-90MS and he has some plastic slat armour, i'll just try my best to sand and thin those parts.

Jonathon HerringI haven't done slat armor but then again…. With my tenuous grasp a sanity, my Dr gave me a excusal note. That's a lot of work and I have long hair so.,,,. to easy to get a real handful before I pull🤪 Good luck Andre

André SilvaJonathon, the slat armour on this model is very time consuming, I suggest you think about it before tackling one of this dimension. If you choose to proceed try making a jig beforehand like I did, it will save you a lot of hair pulling. Good luck Jon, this message will self-destruct in...

André SilvaThank you Mockingbird. It did but it shouldn´t have, I just wasn't very enthusiastic about it so I took it easy, no rush.

Bart GoesaertNice work on the anti-neutron layers... some tedious work. Doesn't that run along the whole of the cupolla? I don't know, and can't find many pictures of it, hence the question
4 April, 15:13
André SilvaThanks Bart. When you say the "whole of the cupolla" is it the whole turret roof or just some specific part of it? Do you mean the area between parts 1 to 4? Anyways, through all the references I could gather (there is none I found about the layers specifically, except that it was installed) this was the best I came up with.

André SilvaUpdate on the turret slat armour supports: It didn't go well. Most likely my "calculated" guesswork on the placement of parts was not good enough and in my frustration a further mistake was made, so it's kind of a botched job. I wasn't able to place the part that connects the turret supports to the slat armour itself in the same position as in my references, so they were never level but always in an angle. I measured, drilled the turret and CA glued the parts multiple times but they never ended up correct. Upon further and more careful inspection of the Voyager PE set instructions (vague on the placement of these parts) we see that the parts are actually at an angle, so it seems I wasn't going to be able to place them level. My suggestion to anyone who tries this set is before purchase send a daily email to Voyager asking for more detailed instructions on the placement of the turret parts. It was my intention to provide such detailed placement but only if they were correct, so I wouldn't advise anyone to follow my build to the letter. Anyways, despite being botched the build will continue.
11 April, 22:30
hivelocI'm sorry to hear about the slat armor mishaps. It makes me a little nervous because I am going to be starting on mine this weekend! I've read the Voyager instructions MANY times- one confusing spot I see is that steps i and k have optional choices on some of the parts for the turret slat mounts- which layout did you go with?
13 April, 06:50
André SilvaHello John, if you mean the numbered black parts they are an anti-neutron radiation lining, not armour. I figured if I was building the slat armour (never doing that again) might as well add that detail too.
26 April, 08:51
JohnYes, I've heard it referred to as "anti-radiation armor" previously. Whatever it's called, it looks very good. I can see how that slat armor would be a once-in-a-lifetime job, seems like a mojo killing task for sure!
26 April, 11:33
André SilvaThank you everybody for your compliments. Hope all is well with all of you and your builds are going great.

Łukasz GlińskiGreat job, very cool and rare scheme 👍 the props are just cherry on the cake 👍

Mr JamesBrilliant colour scheme, excellent bare metal paintwork and the subtle weathering is spot on. Those props are really cool looking. Great build
7 November, 16:23
Snake PlisskenYes, what everyone else said; a striking paint scheme that looks proper for such an elegant plane. With the spinning props, it can be in nearly any pose: in flight, running up the engines, taxiing in water...

SkyhikerOh my that thing looks like a giant bug from my nightmares. You did an excellent job with this kit. Congratulations.

Ben MMissing from directions: Part H1 goes on the upper hull in step 7, captured by PE5 and PE6. Presumably this folds up vertical if the tank is in the water.
I never could figure out what to do with the parts B10.

NeulingI agree with Michael and Thomas. And: the beautiful setting adds to the very appealing impression. 👍

Michael KohlIs it a conversion or a full kit? I had very good experiences with Snake Models. How is this kit? Does it come with instructions of where to put hoses and cables or did you have to research that yourself?
29 October, 07:47
Zsolt CzegleMichael: This is a full resin kit casted of a awesome resin. This is my second kit from Aleksei and I'm very statisfied with it.
There is a little scheme how and where to "attach" the hoses (photo nr.7). I couldn't find any photos in internet because this is an unique vehicle and only one prototype was produced but never ordered by the Soviet Army.

TH SCALE MODELS (Thomas Haberl)Watching your build progress always makes me thinking of also doing these kind of stuff ... one day I will do it - do you then try a plane model? 😂
