After many many years away from making plastic model kits, my wife gave me a big enough push to try and resurrect the passion I used to have for it. In my haste to build kits in the past, many projects would be started, but many never quite got off the ground. So with many opened boxes with parts test fitted or partly started I am determined this time to finish them all in my life time. Hopefully this blog will push me along to complete things.

AER MOLDOVA's 1/35 T-38 AMPHIBIOUS TANK
The first thing that hits you when you open the box, is that there isn't that much to this kit. The second thing that hits you is that you certainly not looking at a Dragon or Tamiya kit. This reminded me of an old old 60's kit, really poor definition of parts, my goodness the jack was a lump of plastic. If you want to do a good job on this kit, you are really going to have to put in the hard yards.
I really wan't prepared to do a lot, so I detailed the turrent and hull with a few more Grandt Line rivets, opened the hatch, and added a few details. I drilled out the prominent holes in the running gear. I may replace the headlights with MV Lenses if I can find the right ones
