Nice review Mario.

What type of glue is supposed to be used to fix transparent resin glasses ?
I think Live Resin should talk about that in their instructions.

There is no need for any glue when fixing transparent parts. Glass pieces can just be inserted into the window openings; the fit is very tight, so the pieces can't possibly fall off.

OK, I didn't know that. Thank you.

Good review thanks!

It would be nice to have a shortlist of kits this set is applicable to (I know the vehicles are alluded to in general terms at the beginning of the text).

Cheers,

Christophe

Christophe, doing a quick Google search, I was able to find photos of the following vehicles. All were USMC with the exception of a single photo of Army soldiers using a M1114 for cover. It could be an USMC HMMWV for all I know.

Bronco M1114 HMMWV
Academy M1151 HMMWV
Trumpeter, Italeri HEMMT Variants
Trumpeter MTVR Variants
Panda, Meng Cougar 6X6 MRAP
Panda Cougar 4X4 MRAP

This list is probably not complete. All vehicles have supplemental armor kits on them along with the MCTAGS.

Eric

Thanks.

Beautiful detail, I particularly like the way the armoured glass panels are positioned and the detail on the M240. Would be nice to see this same set-up offered using the M2 as well, or the M19 as an alternative.

Those covers are some RG-31 turrets here at McGregor Range in New Mexico.
