Holy mackerel that is a lot of plastic and metal. Looks great so far, can't believe how many parts there are lol.

[@studiosam4350]

Yes, that was a big task to deal with all that parts without going crazy! Thanks for watching!

[@scaleffect]

@@studiosam4350 I would have gone crazy the moment I opened the box! Kudos to you for such a great looking build, looking forward to seeing the paint work next

Hi Sam, I'm working on a 1960's T-55 with interior. I have just been working on the engine so far. My question is, it looks like you cut out the emergency hatch for the driver? It that in the instructions? I've may not have noticed that in mine. Thanks for your video. Two thumbs up. 😊

[@studiosam4350]

Thanks for watching, Concerning the emergency hatch, yeah it was an instruction. I can't find it right now but I remember very well. Have nice build!

Great job. I was assigned to 4/64 Armor back in the 80's when we started out with the M60A3 and then in 1986 we received our M1IP Abrams tanks. What difference! It was going from a Model T car to a Cadillac. I wish mini art or Rye Field would produce a M60 series tank with interior. The M60's seemed to be considered a B class tank model in the hobby. Not much respect .

[@studiosam4350]

Thank you very much for your comment sir! I put the M60A3 on my build list. Hope to find a good kit.

Very nice work, really great job! I have this kit in my stash. It seems I also ran into the same problem with the wheels connecting to the suspension, where you used steel wire ( I built the SU-122-54). The plastic coming out of the wheels is just a little too short. I am not sure if it is the part being too short or if the instructions are incorrect.

[@studiosam4350]

Thanks for watching. Yes I think also that the connection bit is at least 1mm too short. And, too soft. When I started to use that system, it appeared very quickly too me that it couldn't work. Too sad. That's why I ended with the wire "very long" task.

[@zulerodoeht329]

@@studiosam4350 Just out of curiosity, how long did the build take? I know everyone has a different pace. I think this one might take me around 6 months. Miniart kits are very detailed, but at times they are a slog.

[@studiosam4350]

@@zulerodoeht329 It took me about 80 hours just for the build. But we have to consider the interior paint.

[@larrybetteridgeii2817]

Well I found a kit I can do well into retirement. That's a ton of parts. And it looks great....

[@studiosam4350]

Now that was a incredible build, I have another version of thisvwith full interior so this videk has given me some inspiration to tackle my kit, thanks for sharing this video, best regards from Australia, Les

[@studiosam4350]

Thanks Les! Have fun with yours!

[@danwild1946]

Absolutely fantastic detail and painting but such a shame that it all gets covered up.

[@studiosam4350]

I will paint the tank in the next video. Don't worry!🙂

[@joemoore4027]

That's the kind of kit you open the box, look and close it up after the shock of the parts count ! Amazing build !

[@studiosam4350]

Thank you very much! Yeah, I really understand this kind of reaction!
