The kit

Trumpeter supply the necessary parts to build both vehicles, though this is not clearly indicated in the instructions (see details later on). The most appreciable difference between both vehicles is the presence or not of a second armoured driver’s bay.

The kit comprises 6 sprues: upper and lower hulls, the superstructure, the vinyl tracks, the decals and the instructions.

The big parts come in the box separately from the bags with the sprues. The tracks are good quality ones with a hollow central horn, something unusual to see in vinyl tracks. The instructions include 20 building steps plus a color paint scheme.

This kit is one of those that you think you’ll never wish to build until some manufacturer introduce one injected in plastic, with good quality details and comparatively inexpensive…something nearly impossible. But Trumpeter made my wishes came true to perfection…

Since some years ago there is a discontinued resin model from ON- Track Model of good quality but quite more expensive. This cheap Trumpeter kit leaves the one in resin as a piece for collection more than as a kit to build.
