Hi Pals,
This as been a very pleasant kit to build, without noticeable problems. Everything fit together very well, and also there are not a multitude of small pieces. Personally, I prefer it, I think that having more pieces does not necessarily make a kit better, and on the contrary, it ruins the fun by unnecessarily complicating the work and at the same time, the progress is very slow.
The tracks are perhaps the most complicated in the kit, although nothing special, they are just delicate. When handling them, it is easy to accidentally separate some links, and when re-joined it breaks on a different point.
That's why, as soon as they were in place, I decided to use glue.
The masking putty used (MIG AMMO), is a very good material, at least for me, it has served me very well. I have been able to make the camo, which was quite complicated because I wanted to conform to the pattern of the instructions as much as possible.
The only negative thing is that you have to be careful with PEs, as it tends to stick and if it is not smooth, it is very difficult to clean. One of the grilles was damaged for that reason.
The kit has been painted with the AMMO set for French vehicles of the time, and weathered with AK and MIG products.
A highly recommended kit for lovers of old French armor, or if we want something different and quality for our collection.
I added a photo with my M3 Stuart, for size comparison, it is not a figure, but it can give an idea of how big it was. It would have been ideal to have an R35, H39, or even an FT17, but at the moment I don't even have anything like that in my stash...
Cheers
Francis.👍
