Canadian AVGP Grizzly, Trumpeter, 1/35


Recommended Posts

Hiya.

Here's my latest project. After few WWII vehicles. I wanted to go for something modern. Few years back I was in Berlin and found a hobby shop. I bought Trumpeter's Grizzly for a bargain price as box was a little damaged. This is an outcome of this. Trumpeter's Canadian AVGP Grizzly. I read few reviews indicating that model is full of mistakes. Maybe it is, but it's fun to build and - in my case - for painting colour modulation training. See for yourself.

This looks great! :thumbsup2:

 

Yes, it seems Trumpeter has a regular habit of fumbling  major details, but you still end up with a good looking model.   On this subject, the two major problems are the rear entry doors which should be flush, and the engine deck with the grill detail is dimensionally off.

 

regards,

Jack

Don't give a hoot about the flaws, this looks good.  I've seen these at Suffield and you do it justice, but their's are a lot dirtier and pretty beat up too.

 

Don't know if I'd want to charge across the prairie in one of these, could be a dusty, rough ride.

 

Take care,

 

Lloyd
