What a pain in the sphericals this one is....suspension isn't even, return rollers doesn't fit, wheels.....don't even go there....
I hope that Miniart will make new mold of this one, tempted to toss it in the bin and buy Tamiya's instead!
....one shall soldier on, see how far we'll get, before this one becomes a ccasualty of....combat!

Is Minicraft the tread version of Hobbycraft? Seems to be a nice looking kit Jan

This is the Miniart's SU-76M, was thinking of getting another one, as they've got one with 5th SS Wiking markings, needless to say....I've now changed my mind about that, Tamiya's it is next time!

There's not much locating pins, some solutions looks a bit odd to me....
Tried my best with the suspension, if I had left it as it was, the wheels would have been even worse, the axles to the wheels where a definite mismatch, even broke one off trying to correct it....the same with the return rollers!

Perhaps in the future, attach a straight edge* to the hull and rest the wheels against it when you're gluing them in place?
*straight edge as in a ruler, piece of cabinet molding, etc.

Put the SU-76M away, as it was not playing along nicely, so....before putting it in the bin, count to 10 and then back in the box....
It's funny, looking at the SU-76M and SU-122, it's hard to believe that both are Miniart, but then again, that kit has a few years under the belt if I remember correctly and now, Miniart uses a different supplier for their plastic....
Squared up a wee bit, among other things, since I'm not the slightest tired, might as well take advantage of that!
Now what?

....safely tucked away the kits that I've finished, hoping for wonders (finishing more kits after the '88!)....
