Miniart 1/35 Spherical Fighting Vehicle TsAMO Project (40003)

Today I am going to tell you more about Miniart 1/35 Spherical Fighting Vehicle TsAMO Project (40003). As some of you might guess, this kit continues series of unusual tanks in popular scale. I reviewed and even assembled the previous versions, so it will be interesting to see what is new here. Model still comes as an Interior Kit, and it might be handy for some build ideas. Overall packaging is typical for this brand, all frames are sealed into one plastic bag. Let's open them all and take a closer look together.

By the way, here you can read review with the previous version of this vehicle.

Watch this video where I show all parts even closer.

We start with frame which carry hull sides. On the photo above you can also see some of the drivetrain bits that will be installed inside.

Engine is also here, and it might be worth spending some time on weathering and painting it. Both side hatches are molded separately here.

This large section on the right is just a part of main track which goes around whole tank. Roadwheels will be installed inside.

Each small turret will feature nicely detailed machine gun. Side legs are molded separately, but it might be worth thinking on how to show them in folded position.

Main chassis is assembled out of several frames. It is nice to see those molded as one-piece parts because such design will be easier to work with.

You will also need two large discs one of which can be seen on the photo above. Whole design might look sophisticated, but assembly is not that difficult.

Kit features only two clear parts, and those look nice out of the box.

Decals sheet comes from Cartograf, so you don't have to worry about printing quality issues. All options can be seen on the photo below.

Assembly manual is typical for this brand. I show all pages in the video-review.

New tank should be already available for purchase. In my opinion it is an interesting choice for modelers who would like to try something different. Moreover, Miniart offers interior bits in the same package. It looks like a decent combo as long as you will add diorama base and some figures. Whole design is nicely engineered and I didn't have any issues during the assembly.
