BAI-M (UM 1/72)

BAI-M, UM
Here is one of my older models. Box says BA-I, but as there is a BA-6 body inside, so BAI-M is closer to the truth.
This is the case where I could not avoid more or less noticeable surgery. As I mentioned above the kit is mixture of BA-6 chassis and body and a BA-I turret. And the body is completely wrong. So I modified the rear part of it to make it look closer to original.
I also replaced the wheels with resin ones from Armory. I was quite frightened by the stories I had read on different forums about melting UM tyres.
