Krzysztof, Volker, Satoshi,
Thank you all for a very complete address of this issue. I did not have any picture showing clearly the turret roof. My supposition was based solely on the line drawings in the older book on T-28 (I am at work and I do not have the book in front of me, and I do not remember author's name), which showes the star on the cylindrical turrets for different production vintages, but not on the conical turret. However, in the same book a picture of the T-28 specimen in the Finnish museum shows like the turret roof is without the star.
Anyway, your arguments are compelling and the star goes on my T-28's roof (stamped, not welded) whether I want it or not. I am redoing this model for the n-th time to show/correct the panel lines, bolts and rivets absent from, or incorrectly depicted, on the kit. The major shortcoming of this kit are the undersized/missing rivets and bolt. Btw, the major shortcoming of the kits of the Russian tanks such as T-26, T-28 and T-35 the way they are is that the kits show the upper hull panels being riveted when in fact they were bolted down with hex head bolts (in reality quite prominent). Thanks again - dziekuje, danke, arigato, bob |
