Thanks!

Darren,

Thanks for getting this one live! I've seen a few people enquiring about this kit on the Internet and wondering if Armorama would soon have a review.

Thanks,
Jan

Good luck with it lads... the wholethong looks a bit tiny tiny for my big old hands

@Blackstoat - Andy,

Excuses, excuses! The model isn't that small! It's a good inch wide by two inches long. Where's your sense of adventure? A good pair of tweezers and perhaps an Optivisor and away you could go. Anyway, thanks for having a look and leaving a comment, most appreciated.

Cheers,
Jan

As always a very concise and to the point review, Jan. I guess I missed this one and just checked to see if there were any more First to Fight reviews and found it. Have you ever seen the Fujimi release? I know that its a "B" model but the two have a lot in common. It looks like an okay model but disappointing in the parts (axe, fire extinguisher, pry bar, jack, spare tracks) that came with the earlier 1/76 version weren't provided. When it comes to my area and depending on the cost I may give this one a pass.

Regards,
AJ

AJ,

Thanks for looking in and your interest. Yes, I have built the Fujimi kit and admit it is still a step above this one. On the other hand, it is a different scale and the newcomer is just that so I'll cut it some slack. I checked my spares box and have some parts to add if I choose to go that route (axe, jack and a few other items). It's still a pretty well detailed kit and as I mentioned in the review, to the adventurous has room for fairly easy improvement. I wouldn't write these new kits off just yet as they have some unique items coming up.

Thanks,
Jan
