I think this is the first injection moulded kit OKBG has done; proof of the pudding will only be in the eating, but this is what he says about it:
Recently we “announced” our upcoming release of a 1/72 M24 Chaffee kit by changing our cover photo. We believe a clarification is due:
- the kit will be an injection molded in PLASTIC.
- we will offer full kit – EVERYTHING you need to build a 1/72 M24 Chaffee will be inside the box (decals included).
- the set will feature classic part breakdown – it is not a simplified/wargame model.
- produced with steel tooling, NO short/limited run (epoxy or soft metal) molds.
Stay tuned for more details! Also note that the etched set will include the side skirts not shown in the news item:
Tracks will be link and length, and decals will also be included. Interesting that he is using Facebook to consult on decal ideas / suggestions for this early production Chaffee.
Looks good.
