Looking good so far. I've had the idea to build a TAM for decades, so I've got to ask: how good is this kit? 🙂 It seems to be fairly good from the photos, but is it really?

Damianos Argentum Author
dear friend, the best feature is the accuracy with the reality: the brand's owner works for the Argentinian Army, he takes the model from the real ones. About the quality, is better, this kit on pictures is the older one, the newer is plenty designed and printed in 3D, also the cannon. To bear in mind how are the newer, check out this one VCTP | Album by damian203 (1:35).

what is the tube for??

Damianos Argentum Author
my kit is metal, the newer resin

Damianos Argentum Author
sorry, you meant the tube over the hatchway, don't you? that is a snorkel to allow the tank to plunge under the water

Thanks, now all I need is WhatsApp, which I will do after I get brainwashed into trusting Facebook with anything at all 😉

It's the same kind of deep-wading as Leopard 1 and 2 can do, with this same snorkel: Youtube Video

I don't know exactly about the TAM, but the Leopard 2 has a number of valves that must be closed before deep-wading, such as to prevent the engine drawing air from outside, to close the cooling air intakes, etc. as well as a few that must be opened, for example one to let the engine draw air from INside the tank. There are also a number of seals that must be inflated or installed before entering the water.
