T-62 PE (so far)

[elend]

Wow, how do you drill the holes that straight?! I would have drilled crooked holes in it, thus making it look very weird once the wire is in. Well done, looks gorgeous.

I used a fresh #77 bit , secured with an exacto knife handle, and then slow and steady pressure on one side then again on the other side.

Thanks for the kind words.


It's not finished, but were working on it.

Great work there - steadier hands than me!

The fuel lines are looking great. Definitely worth the investment. I'm sure an optivisor would help with the drilling ;D

I'm liking where this is going.

I have taken. Look at that A.M. Kit from MiG and I felt it would be a little difficult
To install, as you need to have some of the small resin parts on the fuel line
While you bend it!!!

Can you tell us if it is easy or you have encounter some difficulties?

Looking great so far ! Don't stop!

I took me three hours to drill resin and install. It's not difficult, the fuel line bends easily. I would suggest feeding the resin parts on the brass and then cut and bend to fit. as I said earlier, use a number 77 drill bit, 5-15 second set CA and insta-cure. The most time consuming task is the drill out of the resin. minimal left overs of three resin pieces and about two inches of brass fuel line.

Thanks big guy! Puts my mind to rest! I might get one set and try it out!

Later!

Sprue Bros for the Photo etching and a local hobby store for the KIT.

The nice thing about this 1962 version T-62 kit, is that is comes with the metal barrel a small PE
Sheet and copper twists for recovery cables.

The tank is in the primer stage this weekend, I'll post some pics or you can just imagine it covered in Mr Hobby 1200 surfacer.

Enjoy your session and have a good one.
