It is a kit purchased from a Poland hobby shop pretty long ago by personal imports. I made it in March 2009.
This kit is from Ukraine; the company’s name is Mini Art. As many as five Winter coat Russian tank figures are attached.
Strong curves on these parts from the first. I am becoming doubtful about finishing it up.

The plastic material was soft, and I could adjust them easily though there were many distortions. Recovery is easy.

I am surprised by the small number of parts in this kit, the same size as Stuart but with a very simple structure.

Headlights are clear parts.

Basic paint in green. I’ll paint it white so not so serious about the condition at the moment.

I chose one figure from the attachment, a Russian tank soldier who wore heavy winter clothing. Since the hatch is large, the figure that puts on the heavy winter clothing is neatly installed.

Winter camouflage, I lightly blew white.

The T-70 light tank was completed. This tank is one flow process from T-30, T-50, and T-60, and the Soviet army light tank has been improved like this. Only a front armor was strength equal to T-34.
T-70 began to appear around the summer of 1942 and supplemented the corner of the front in a bad circumstances. The vehicle was made of camouflage in winter since the attachment figure was winter specification.
When it became a good accent, the red decal made the desired choice for the white ground. However, maybe it’s a qualitative problem. I tried to stick by a decal fit, but it did not go well. After all, I drew the number with my brush.
The body is simple, even if I see it from the front and the back.
Since Ｉ draw eyes too large every time, this one is too small. It’s not a powerful expression as solder. I think that the molding of the prototype is excellent. I added the shoulder strap from a small plastic plate.
I could not fix the figure looking forward because the hatch was too large.
After splaying the mat white to the groundwork of the dark green, I painted with my brush irregularly on purpose. It is a setting where an actual situation is painted with a brush.
I changed the chipping color in some places, dark green and the other in black.
The AFV of Mini Art is recommended for easy assembly comparatively to other Eastern European kits though I made this company’s one for the first time. The instruction manual is all colored.
