A new build starte 🙂. It seems quite easy but one thing puzzles me - the tracks. They compose of 4 straight plastic parts and instruction says to bend them with hair dryer. It is first time I encountered this type of tracks. Anyone tried doing something like this?

I have heard of this type of assembly but have never built one. However, I have lots of experience heating and softening styrene plastic. You can also try very hot or boiling water -- soak the tracks in boiling water, then fish them out of the water with long tweezers and bend them around the rear sprocket, idler and road wheels and hold until they cool. You may even get by using no heat, just slowly and carefully bend curves into the tracks.

After some work done I need to say I am a little disappointed with this kit. Instruction includes some mistakes and it is not always easy to read how and where exactly a specific part should be located. More over I expected more from new molds (parts require a lot of work to remove additional plastic).

Hi Marcin. My advice is to *expect mistakes* and do your research accordingly. It may or may not be fun to research the T-55 but most of the photos or line drawings you can find online are free, it just takes some time.

Sure thing Snake 🙂. References in the Net are more than sufficient.

Good job adding the injector lines on the engine. I overlooked it the first time. 👍

Thanks Snake 🙂. I was considering adding some more parts to the engine but they wouldn't be visible after assembly so I left it as it is. Thanks one again for the track bending tips, they were very helpfull.
