This kitset arrived a couple of weeks ago, I picked it up as part of a bulk buy that when worked out it only $5.00 NZD, which I was rapt about. I had some time to kill this afternoon and decided to get into it. It said on the box 10 yrs +, but I thought I could do it quicker.
Only 22 parts, each of which is nicely detailed and flash free, sweet!
Stage one, hull exhausts and fuel tank, 5 minutes.
Driving and gunnery turret. The MG's maybe a little thick, but that makes them more wargame friendly I think. 5 minutes.
Engine deck and driving turret assembly. I did have a little trouble aligning the deck, but it was soon sorted using a little more pressure. 5 minutes.
Tracks added and we are done. 20 minutes of totally hassle free building. This incidentally is my first WW1 kit, but after painting I will probably give it as a Christmas gift to a bloke I know who used to use cold water from a dogs bowl to apply decals and wonder why he had troubles.
He needs all the help he can get I reckon. Model on!
Looks a nice little kit - especially at that price!
ReplyDeleteSpot on Tim, I knew I was not the only cheap skate. It almost snaps together as well.I have more $5 NZD bargains to be posted.

They are great kits mate, you get about 6 or 7 different sets of decals.The white Russian set looks good to me!
ReplyDeleteCheers Rich.
The Whippet it's a curious beastie for sure ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat price Paul. I want to get two Whippets to add to my WW1 army. % Bucks each would be fantastic!! Looking forward to seeing it painted up.
ReplyDeleteThat's a cool kit, who's this bloke you're on about?:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul, good spotting on the comment.
ReplyDeleteHi Rich, you are spot on about the decals, although I will be keeping it to the mother country.
ReplyDeleteGood one.
Cheers Geordie, yes I will have to google which end is the front mate!
ReplyDeleteHi Rodger, the price was right as you say. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=429401021 heres another one with some other useful kits.
ReplyDeleteRegards Paul
Al, if I told you it would spoil his surprise!
ReplyDelete(However faked it might be)
I checked that listing. As it happens I picked up an A7V and a Mk4 off that trader last weekend!!
ReplyDeleteHah, good one Rodger, I was tempted to buy more but, you know how it is.
ReplyDeleteNice trader as well.
Regards Paul
