Cool! I love that tank! I have the T-18 built and painted - I'm just stalled gluing the track links together. Still, it's a far better kit than the unbuildable AER/Eastern Express version.

These two are the first time I ever used plastic individual links and not replaced them with aftermarket.  used them as a trial to see if I could tackle larger tank tracks.

 That SU-18 must have been a little wobbly on its treads - but it does look cool. Both fine looking builds!

The T-18/MS-1 and Su-18 are based on the Renault FT (or FT-17) WWI tank, with a different suspension. It was the first Soviet designed tank that wasn't 100% useless.

There was an old 1/35 kit of the T-18, originally put out by AER and the molds have since been released by Eastern Express and others. It's an awful kit so the Hobby Boss kits are a welcome addition.

Thanks.  They go together relatively easy.  the hardest part for me was the tracks as they are among the first I used the kit supplied tracks and not replaced with after-market.
