Thanks!

This would have been a much more promising kit if the tracks were supplied in plastic.

If the price is right, allowing for the purchase of aftermarket tracks, it could prove interesting.

MiniArt has wonderful T-34 tracks at a low cost.

Nikos: it is exactly those tracks I have ordered for this model.

The cupola hatches are molded closed?

You might want to compare the MiniArt link size with the ICM ones, because you might need to adjust the idler position differently. T-34 tracks are a PITA to get the right length and track sag.

Darren, nice to see this one in ICM stable. It seems to me that the history repeats itself: there is an invasion of soviet tanks all across the modeling map! Which is delightful (this time)!

Thanks for the review!

And yes: MiniArt tracks are great for the price!

the split hatch is but a sharp blade will alter that.
