Dragon 6388 STZ T-34 part fit photos BIG PICS

I made some photos at work today...

Between gluing the parts yesterday and fitting them this morning, I made some MINOR modifications for better fit, though nothing really unusual or difficult. No heavy duty cutting, remodelling, etc.

I removed the "hook" from the rear mud flaps as well. This detail is thick and blobby anyway. The kit parts do not match the instruction sheet either... See the next photo as well...

Now with the lower rear hull in place, I can put it up and forward a millimeter or two. The arrows show where I modified those little filler parts.

The front joint snaps together (sand the inside of the front mud flaps there is a bad seam

The back fits okay. The parts are not glued just sitting (I have not glued the grills inside the top deck yet).

On the bottom there is a slight un-evenness from front to back my a mm or so but I dont think its hard to hide the step and the angle probably will not show on the finished model. I can trim those small filler parts down some more and add some sheet styrene back underneath the rear mud flaps.

The fit isnt stellar but its not the horror story other people have described. its no worse than say a typical Alan kit...
