Hobby Boss VK4502 (P) Hinterm
Posted by snapdragonxxx on Thursday, July 7, 2011 7:49 AM

Just got this from my LHS for £23. I am suprised to find full turret detail inside at this price - Half of the Dragon kit price.

I have no idea on how it goes together as I will have to finish off my 1/32 JU-88 and then my GWH SWS with IR searchlight before starting this one

Does anyone have experience with this kit?

I'm just finishing up their other version, the VK4502(P) Vorne version ( the one with the turret towards the front). I had no problems, pretty straight forward build. The only weak spots are the barrel is a little soft on detail (snagged an old one from the spares box) and the tracks need a little work in the clean up area. Also on mine, the clearance for the tracks on the front sprocket is tight with the front hull/sponson. I had to fight to get the tracks over the teeth and around the sprocket, but once engaged into the sprocket no probs, just getting them on and around the sprocket was the hard part. I glued the sprockets on  before putting the tracks on, so you might want to try putting the front ones on when you put the tracks on ( no problems with the rear sprockets). Other than that no real issues, I don't think I even had to use any filler. I hope you understand what I was trying to explainBig Smile
