Default RE: Another T-55 build/review

This next post is not so flattering but needs to be addressed.

The poor mismoldings of the A and C sprue (about half the parts) was frustrating. Many parts had to be reformed or reconstructed all together. Some parts were molded into the webbing or had voids.

It is interesting that the remaining sprues were fine.

The recoil gearbox is shown pulled apart for an overhaul to get the binded gears working again. It uses a design similar to Tamiya except the limit switch is separately wired. If using Tamiya electronics, be sure to wire the switch properly with the correct resistors such that the electronics can read the position correctly.
