SoftScience Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I have no will power. I went to the hobby shop for paint and saw this kit on the counter. I had a $10 rebate coupon and I've always like this type, and...and you know what? I'm an adult so I get to buy what I want! anyway, let see what's in the box, shall we? a ton of parts, for one. The picture below shows most, not all. Mouldings are crisp and very fine. The hull and turret parts have a nice texture and foundry castings. You get some nicely done vinyl parts for the mantlet cover. A turned aluminum barrel, and vinyl tracks. The tracks are cementable vinyl ( you seeing this, Hobbyboss/Trumpeter???) But they do have an ugly seem line running through length of the linkages. This may be impossible to remove and depending on final plans, the tracks may need replacing. Finally, you get five interesting markings options. I like the orange MERDC scheme, but I also am liking the green/sand/black with black markings version shown below it. I need to research that a bit. The USMC version from the box looks pretty cool too. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodai Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Good luck with your build. I have that kit in the stash here, and it is a top class production all the way around. Just too complicated for me given how I work, and the time allowed here. I'm sure you'll have fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use the Tamiya kit as a guide, you can make some stencils based on the hull. Then you can drill all the holes out if you really want them there. 😉 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
