HMMM,Where do I start. I still haven,t perfected the photo thing ,but I am trying. Now to the kit.How many of you have it,or it,s cousins? This thing is weird.For instance it has five parts for the tire and wheel pieces.Having built many model cars ,this was indeed strange.
They do look nice when done and they really POP when you sand the tread area down to represent wear.It seems so tiny for me ,but I am amazed at the total parts count,with NO pe either.225 Is the total parts count,give or take one or two. The clear parts are CLEAR and allow you to do the side windows rolled up or down.There is a full engine too!
There is NO chrome plating on any of what would be chrome parts.But there is plenty of them,even to the MERCEDES -TRI STAR hood ornament ! I guess it seems like a lot,but remember,I usually do my cars in 1/24 or 1/25 scale.Now, that that is said WATCH OUT! Although the frame is multiple pieces(the whole frame is molded as one piece) and then you install the bottom plates on the right and left sides.There are BAD sink marks in the rear frame at the rear kick up portion.
Other than that,and for those of you who like figures with your military vehicles(it has none,Figures that is)It,s not bad. I will give you an update as I get it done and will still try to post pics.(I am trying honest !!) TANKERbuilder
