KRK4m Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Only two 1/72 plastic kits of this standard WarPac APC appeared on the market - one by ACE and another by PST. Both are relatively new tools (10-12 years old, thus 21st century) and ACE is said to be almost faultless. But ACE is unavailable (at least in my country) for last 5 years at least, whereas PST 72054 can be purchased easily. Is it bulidable at all? Can one build a decent model using this kit? Or should I avoid it and look for the ACE one even more desperately? Cheers Michael Edited October 7, 2017 by KRK4m misprint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not planning to build either in the near future but I could at least post some comparison pictures if you are interested, earliest next weekend.

KRK4m Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Thank you for your interest I have seen the inbox photos of both and ACE looks much better. Many people say that (although not "shake and bake") it can be transformed into a decent model. The question is whether is anybody pleased with his own buld of the PST kit Especially the method of fitting the forward superstructure over the PT-76 hull looks weird.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 I've got both the PST BTR-50 and the ACE OT-62A.....The PST kit definitely looks like it will be the easier build. From past experience with their PT-76B I'd recommend fully assembling the hull and dealing with any joins before starting the running gear.

RAGATIGER Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 Hi there Well my 0.02 cents the main thing for one or another reason with ACE kits and lots of low injection kits its the same most glue/cements don´t work well, you have to use Revell Contacta and that problem is solved I remember reading that on Braillescale Forum and then I had no trouble at all Best modeling Armando Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
