I accidentally started this thread in the war room, so I'm reposting it here. Man I'm an idiot

Hi all,
I started this project last year, and had to shelve it while I worked on some other things. So I pulled it back out and dusted off the parts. This will be a true conversion kit bashing the WSN T-34/85 RC tank, with the super detailed Trumpeter T-34 static model kit, Imperial Modelbau SU-85 resin conversion kit, and Tamiya IR electronics. You may have seen some of these postings and pics in another thread last year, before the project got put on hold.

The Iperial Modelbau kits (SU-85, and SU-100) are true resins. They appear to be urethane resins, and of fair quality. The SU-100 comes as a solid super structure (fighting compartment), where as the SU-85 kit which I am currently working on is made up from several flat "slab" peices that need to be built up. The castings themselves are of pretty poor quality, they are very thick, have lots of air bubbles, and my peices are severely warped. It will take extensive work with hot water or a hair dryer to get things flat enough to glue together.
