I just received a couple of paper models from one of our American suppliers, and when I opened the package I got a nice surprise. Besides the two kits I had ordered, there was also a Maly T-38 light tank in there. Christmas in March! I did a little internet surfing to get some photos and info on this little tank, and I think it's something I'd like to build. It's a 1989 Maly, and suffers from the usual limitations of this line - blotting paper type card, yellowed from acid, a light coating of ink that looks like it would rub off if handled too much, etc. The registration looks pretty good though, and I'm impressed with some of the details and engineering. My question: have any of you guys ever built this kit? I'm thinking of photocopying it onto new card stock, and I was wondering if it's worth the time and expense. I'm toying with using it as a learning tool to try out some of the detailing hints and techniques I've picked up on these forums - rivets, hinges, etc.
Thanks for any input,
Don
