Story sent me some images of an Egyptian M-22 Locust that appears to have the mantlet mounted upside down (some other captured Egyptian M-22s have the mantlet in the correct orientation). I bought the Bronco M-22 kit to build the tank - it's a tiny tank in 1/35. How hard can it be?
Here's the tank mantlet:
Flipping it around would sorta work, but for best effect, I would print a 3D copy "flipped" and dimensioned to fit the turret. I have the files for a 1:1 version, so I think I'll be able to print it soon.
Meanwhile... since this is a Bronco kit, there's a small but packed PE sheet with parts that could have easily been molded in plastic, but that wouldn't provide enough suffering. Also a Bronco trademark - tiny, tiny attachment points and instructions with very vague orientations for parts that require critical orientation...
This is two days work:
Thankfully the tracks are links and length, with only a few individual links at each end. I would have expected individual links with to-scale and critical connectors in PE:
I just finished gluing six 1mm long PE parts to the rear of the tank and noticed I need to add six more to the turret. Of course there are no locator marks anywhere...
