I just wonder, do you think a T10 is in the offing - or will I actually have to start on my resin Navigator kit??!!

Things are sure looking up for Soviet modellers.

Hi;

Hay JD gives us some Scuttlebut on the Navigator kits
As I remember they were real expensive and very hard too find, and didn't they make a T-10m ?

CHEERS; MIKE.

I had the T-10 once upon a time and sold it off as well as seeing the JS-4 kit in person. They were awfully rough in casting and the metal parts were mediocre. I think there's a reason that you don"t see many of them completed. . .

Navigator kits: They did the IS-4, T-10 and T-10M. I have the IS-4 and T-10 kits. They are decently detailed. That is all the nice things I can say about those kits.

For the IS-4 from Navigator, lots of the kit parts are based on the Tamiya IS-3 kit (since the IS-4 was based on the IS-3 parts as well...like the running gear, etc.) The white metal pieces, while nicely done, are white metal and a serious pain to deal with. The resin is brittle, hard to unwarp (yeah. lots of warp in these kits) and hard to sand. I wrestle with mine every so often to remind me how much easier I have it with plastic kits!

With a LOT of work, a lot of patience, and a LOT of after market, the Navigator kit would make a impressive, HEAVY model. I think I will buy the Trumpeter kit, save the time, and thank the modelling gods.
