Review
| Fit of Parts |
| I found the fit at the rear end rather tricky, but I suspect it was me rather than the kit. The turret and its interior and gun detailing call for mighty careful workmanship, so take your time. |
|
Quality of Casting/ Detail Level of Parts |
| At first glance the
parts look as good as injection molded plastic, and on second glance
they STILL look that good. The walls of the hull are amazingly thin, and
even the turret armor is thin enough to get by without any doctoring.
Parts are as light as plastic and soft enough to cut and flex like
plastic. Undercarriage detail is spectacular, with steering linkage, and the wheels are sprung and detailed on both sides. Radio operator and driver’s hatches are detailed for either open or closed display. |
| Decals, Marking Information and Painting Information |
| There are no decals or paint schemes included. |
| Instructions/Packaging |
| There are 17 pages of
photo instructions that lead you through the assembly process. This American M8 kit comes packed in a large box for shipping protection. Inside a bubble pack are 3 plastic bags containing the kit components. |
| Conclusion |
| In the end we have an
American WW2 armored car that can be marked with all those extra Allied
white stars you have laying around, or for the kraut addicts, go beute. Have fun... life's short. George Bradford |
