Thanks!

A very good review of a very tiny model, with a very good selection of pictures. These very small models have come a long way since my days of building Airfix Panthers and Tigers. A very good selection of pictures.

Jan, your review hits the nail on the head.

I too have got this kit in my stash and it is good that you have pointed out the lacks of the instruction.

Jan,

Excellent review with plenty of photos. Will have to add this one to the growing pile of WWII kits. This kit looks to have everything a builder may need for a placing this vehicle in an action diorama. I guess it would be asking to much but it would be been nice to see Dragon release a set of figures for there open topped vehicles.

Darren, thank you very much for your comments. From a pro reviewer like yourself, it means quite a bit. The small scale kits are truly amazing and when I returned to the hobby just a couple of years ago I was stunned. I recall when I thought that the Fugimi kits were something at the time. The pictures are a result of reading other reviews and seeing what the "experts" do. Also thanks to the SWMBO who bought me not only the kit but the lens as a gift.




Marco, I try to tell it like I see it. I am no expert and try to present the observations as objectively as possible. I feel that Dragon's instructions are definitely not up to the quality and detail of their kits. Thanks for your comments.




Thanks for the comments, Eddy. I fully agree that the manufacturer would not be amiss in providing some appropriate figures. Maybe after reading comments like yours they might change their ways and provide some for future releases. Matchbox used to and even ESCI/Italeri started including some with their kits.

Thanks again,
Jan
