Soviet T-64B Mod. 1975....

[Lucky13]

Since I've came as far as I can with the T-62, before sorting out the track issue....

....I thought that I'd crack on with the T-64B Mod. 1975...

It's a wee bit more P/E in this kit....

She'll be done as she looks in the boxart....

I.m not sure what for you need the aftermarket tracks for the tank. I would say the Trumpeter made them OK. But if you want to play a little bit with them you may use the SkIf plastic set or the Trumpeter..

Skif 501 Gąsienice do T-64A, T-64B, T-64BW

Trumpeter 02051 Soviet T-64 Tank Track Links

Don't get me wrong, these tracks to the T-62 are fine, just wanted to play with a aftermarket set, see what's what, as it's a fair few different ways to attach them to each other....

 

[Wurger]

I see. Well... the Skif set could be a good choice.

I imagine that the brass part, is to remove any foreign objects from drive sprockets, but....what are those upside down "hooks" for?

 

[Wurger]

It looks like the stopper for the wheel rocker arm.

 

[Lucky13]

Riiiiiight....is that what it is?
