| Subject: | Dragon's T-34 Spring Boxes |  |
| Date: | Nov 11, 2004 |
| From: | SJKarver | |
G'day,
Has there been comment on what appears to be an inaccurate cross-section of the Dragon/DML spring boxes for T-34 hulls--or is it just me?
Numbering the full-height boxes 1-4 from front to back, the kit's distinctly rectangular rendition appears to be bsaed on no. 3 in the engine bay; the others have a more squarish section. A reference image for this observation is at:

This section has been carried over in the Trumpeter kit as far as I can tell.
Obviously, this discrepancy, if it is one, is moot for closed-top T-34-based types, and is somewhat obscured in the tank interior by the false side walls for open-hatch builds. For an open-hatch SU-100 (where there is no such paneling), I'm trying to decide whether it makes a difference.
Comments welcome.
Best,
SJK |
