Thanks!

Informative and concise review as usual. Does sound uncannily like the last resin kit I built, with the big pour block on the main body, and then the difficulty with getting the suspension units precisely located, with of course some of the detailing being quite vulnerable to damage while the modeller is engaged with all the hacking, sawing, sanding, chiselling and trimming!!

Does seem surprising that there hasn't been a mainstream plastic kit of this in small scale before. One would almost have guessed that there'd be a Revell kit of what you'd think would be quite a popular subject.

Matthew, thank you for having a look and commenting. A sad reality is that most resin kits that I have been exposed to all share the attributes that you mention in your comment. These pour blocks and points are particularly a chore before any assembly can commence. Then there is always the concern about the toxicity of the dust particles in the back of ones mind.

The thought that a main stream manufacturer has failed to provide one of these in styrene is also a mystery. With over 800 of these vehicles in various variants, one would think that Revell would have jumped at the idea of adding one of these to their stable of more prominent German vehicles.

Cheers,
Jan

Nice job Jan! There are very few resin kits (in any scale) that are really suitable for beginners unfortunately. There's a real learning curve involved but at least they do plug gaps in ranges and availability of usually niche vehicles and equipment. Like you though I'd have thought the Jpz was mainstream enough to attract either Revell or Trumpeter in this scale.
