You have seen the box art already in my previous post, here you’ll find just a little round up of the different part sprues. For ease of production it seems that Trumpeter is giving you more parts than needed, see for example the wheels. During the build you need 18 but 24 are supplied. Additionally you’ll find that there are a couple of parts defined as “unused parts” by Trumpeter already in the instructions.
All the parts together on one pile
The loose parts
In general the parts are grouped together in a way that you only need to open 1 bag of parts to complete the different assemblies like chassis, hull or drive train. Consider the additional parts as goodies for your parts box or to decorate a little diorama.
Main traction wheel parts, twice the same
loads of wheels ... more than you need
In general the quality of the kit and the parts seem much better the the Revell / Matchbox T-80 B kit that I have started but more on that once I started building (which I did already …).
Upper hull assembly
Turet and guns
Now to me there is only one question left … build it completely like the T-80 and then paint it or paint the parts first and then assemble it.
