First of all I've got to say these awesome plastic model. Battlefront is giving Plastic Soldier Company a run for their money in plastic model.

On opening the box you find two upper hulls per sprue. First thing the came to my mind is I got to throw one upper hull out. No I said, how do double my money. The answer turned out be a 3/4 inch metal washer and a hobby strip magnet. Here are some pictures. Full details can be found on my blog.


The magnetic and washer holds the upper structure to the lower hull. The exhaust pipes on the back came off for extra PSC T-34.. Now depending on what period of the war I have SU-85 or Su-100. The best I now have SU-100 for my Arab-Israeli conflicts. Nothing get a big bang for your buck.

Great tip – thanks for sharing. I think many gamers have a dislike of wasting parts, and this will help avoid it.
