Several months ago I worked on the Tank Workshops resin kit of the M123 tractor which was quite challenging. Trying to figure parts out like a jigsaw puzzle. Just got the old Revell military wrecker truck I won on ebay. 75% of the parts are pulled off the sprues.
Yippee-kai-yay. It's a tough job, but someone has to do it. Looks like everything is there, guess I'll find out when I get around to building it.

Well did you know before you won the kit that the parts were not attached?
If not would send the seller a Sweet little email if you get the drift!!

Hi,
I've bought the Revell M62 kit many years ago. The kit parts are pulled of the sprue !!!!
Today the kit is laying on my shelves waiting better days
Cheers.

Blaster,
I built mine two (maybe three?) years ago after seeing an article in MMiR that featured a build of that kit. After seeing the really poor instructions (I'm being charitable here) from the kit, I was very thankful I had purchased the MMiR, as the info from the author made it possible to pile all that resin together. A lot of work, and I was not able to get all of the wheels to line up straight, but I will probably apply a little heat to rectify that problem.
The article recommended using the AFV M35 truck for some cab substitutions, including the windshield and dash. The Eduard PE kit was also useful.
Overall, it builds up nice, just keep any references handy that you can lay your hands on!
Good Luck!
