Opens there is sprues the shoe □piece is the dark oak color

According to instruction directly embraces again mounts to □□

Lives □the strength to be extremely good, has MK very much the feeling □, shoe □back casts the hole is a grain of spiral □ Mounts □□ □compares with the field oak □shoe □ Set in field host □□on

Entire feeling is very good, □a M2 shoe □major part all is not blocked from by □the board, has a pity the shoe □has the few parts □gathers very easily, was extremely good to myself to make the AFV □□shoe □(in particular oak □shoe □, had □), not □my □M2 not too cold, therefore I thought it matched FM, BLAST ones (Tamiya) fat shoe □may not □, my □person □□AFV □□shoe □very much good □gathered me

They look fantastic. Just as good as the fruil ones, too bad I aleady put an order in for some fruils. I like the idea of sperate rubber blocks, this will ease painting. The only downer is guess is the fact they havent bothered to include a correct sprocket. maybe they will produce a set of auccurate bradley running gear complete with all the torsion bars etc.
