Unusual camo for unusual tank🙂

I always thought because name was swamp tank that the boat like hull was for that purpos, was surprised to learn that it was nuclear blast proofing

Evgeny Brovkin
Yes - this forms against overturning due to impact wave.

which kit is which? ,and which one is the best?

>which kit is which? ,and which one is the best?
Yellow-Brown : TAKOM
Red one : Panda Hobby
Green with stripes : Amusing hobby

All three kits has a lot of mistakes in comparison with the prototype. Different mistakes. Not critical, but a lot of. As you can see on my photos there are the differences between them.

However only as plastic kits - some conclusions:
1. The worst ever - Amusing.
Terrible instructions, full of mistakes. Awfull plastis. Lot's of troubles in progress. The only "pluses" are workable (three fixed positions suspension) and workable (but very bad looks and quality) tracks.

2. TAKOM in the milddle. Some problems with plastic and accurace. Two position suspension.

3. Panda the best one. The only minus - only one position for suspension and unfortunately the lower one (as in museum) - not good. But it's simple to correct.

Pffff. A lot of text🙂
If have any more questions - ask, I'll happy to answer🙂

Rhys Young
That's all really 😛 ,Thanks for the reply, and really good work on the models!
Thanks

Your Objects look really good.I'm currently building the Panda kit .barrel needs replacing with Aber or similar.Otherwise seems a good kit.I'm wondering what you mean regarding suspension/running gear,unfortunately I have already assembled that so perhaps too late to change it now.Is it too low or high?

Dave Driver
Looking again at the red Panda .I can see the suspension arms are fixed at more of a angle to mine.Maybe possible to alter using fine cement to release.

2: Vult
Amusing gets 3 position of suspension (High/medium/Low)
Panda only ony - low. Low is bad - is't transport position.
I'v fixed it manually.
