1:35 APCM T-84BM Ukrainian Tank

Boris

Hello all
I am not from China, and I don't know Chinese.
I saw this model on this site and decided to build it.
Thanks AP for design.
It's just a first step, the body. Some gluing tabs were missing, no serious problem seen

Will be continued

Hello all
The turret is done. Finished the NSVT 12.7mm machine gun with mount and the main gun. It is quite a challenge to roll such long and such small diameter tubes. Remade at least three times ..
Than the turret swivel ring which gets inserted into hull. Had to decrease the ring's height, because it was getting bumped in the hull reinforcement. Beside that, no issue.

Boris

Thank you!!

Congratulations on completing the production！

And so, after a year, this T-84BM model is finished.
What I liked: it is a good design of a rare model. Although some things were simplified, it was done very correctly. It is a good pretty simple model.

What I did not like: side skirts are weakly designed, they tend to fold in. The hull should be build in one piece, requiring good building skills.
In summary, it is a good model, was fun building it.
Thanks AP for a great design.

Hello all.
So, the tracks. Usually, it's a nightmare for a builder, but not for this model. Some double layer strips , some side walls, some gluing tabs that I prepared and that's it. Nothing too difficult here

Boris

Hello all.
One more step - suspension of the bogies. Or a simulation of it. Very simplified. I guess it's OK for this scale

Yes, two design options can give producers more choices

Hello all.
After a break, I continued, pretty slowly, with wheels.
The designer provided two options for wheels and tracks: one very simple, box-like with printed wheels and tracks, the other version with separate driving sprockets, bogies, front tensioner wheels and tracks made from strips with side walls.
.
The first option was too simple for me.
Second option was selected.
Each bogie is made from 8 parts, each driving sprocket is made from 5 parts and each front tensioner wheel is made from 4 parts.

Nothing too complicated, just need to be careful.

So, after a number of weekends, I finished with all the wheels.
Next step is to build the arms that will attach the bogies to the hull.
