>>8557192>I had a hobby of googling old Jane's and magazines, look up their guesstimation of Soviet forces, then comparing it with actual info. I found an old commie book about NATO in my grandpa's stuff, and had this picture of the XM-1 Chrysler as illustration for the new MBT in service with the war-mongering Americans.
>Zvezda fucked up with modelling correct PAK FA exterior despite having almost exclusive amount of info on itI've read that Tamiya's M60, and all kits based on it had its suspension ride a bit high because Tamiya took measurements of a museum piece that was gutted and had no engine. Might be urban legend though.
>And yes, no matter how accurate the models will be, there will ALWAYS be whiny rivet-counter full of "REEE WHEN I HAVE SERVED IN THE ARMY ON THE SAME TANK WE HAD HANDRAILS 3MM LOWER THAN ON THIS MODEL, TO THE TRASHCAN IT GOES".Slavs and slavshit-autist boomers have a pathological hatred for Trumpeter. Like they forget that without the chinks the best you'd have is stuff like Tamiya's T-72 and a ton of resin conversion sets.
