I just got this kit for Christmas, great timing for your review.

Good for you, but then you have known it all yourself already, if you had a look at the kit.

Really like this kit, built it years ago when it first came out. Most enjoyable

Good to hear that :) It looks very much like a kit one can enjoy from start to finish.

Schöner Bausatz, er macht einen guten Eindruck, obwohl er schon älter ist. Es wird mal wieder Zeit, das eine neue Version dieses Bausstzes raus kommt. MfG der Ben

Great review Michael. Those weird pegs/pins you mention in the moulding are indeed strange. I never encountered those until I built the Takom M3 Lee Mid recently. Ad for the AFV club single length tracks, I agree they are quite good. I used them on the 251/9 last year or the year before. They look good, and I was lucky in that where they were folded in the package, when I installed them on the vehicle they portrayed the appropriate sag.

Cheers Brett! I got the separate running gear set AFV-Club offers, which uses the same sprues and tracks from this kit, i might use it to improve the look of older kits. I am looking at the Tamiya 251 D in particular :)

Hamilkar, I got this kit on EBay and am now looking for a Flak 18 or Flak 36/37 for it to tow. Thanks for the review!

Excellent kit, still has some of the nicest running gear out there. Also, if more companies could make well detailed 'rubber' tracks like AFV that would save a lot of us time and money! Nice seeing this, good review 👍

A high level of detail without going too crazy on the parts count. Looks like a nicely moulded kit for sure. I like the advice club kits I have built but I always (and it may be my fault) have issues with their decals . Hope the build goes well

@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling

5 жыл бұрын

I agree on the decals, theirs can be a bit wonky at times. I have the feeling that they don´t age well, as long as they are new its all good.

Good timing Hamilkar ! I bought this kit off ebay on xmas day. ] look forward to this build. I want to do one towing a 105mm in a DAK diorama. You have to get the Das Werk Faun L900 & Trailer kit

Cheers Sir! DAK topics are awesome, i have to do them more often myself. I might just do that with my kit here. The Faun looks indeed exquisit, i will get one for sure. Probably next month or so.

Danke für das zeigen der "Exoten" Mir persönlich gefällt AFV Club auch sehr gut habe diverse Bausätze von denen und es eine solide Mischung aus Preis und Qualität. Wenn ich da an den späten Tiger 1 denke was da alles für unter 30 Euro in der Box ist, da können sich andere "Dragon" *hust* ne scheibe abschneiden.

@HamilkarBarkasScaleModelling

5 жыл бұрын

Stimmt, da ist die Preispolitik etwas stimmiger im Vergleich zu anderen Herstellern.

Ich hatte bisher erst zwei AFV Club-Bausätze, darunter den M88 Bergepanzer, bei dem ich es auch zum ersten Mal mit PE zu tun hatte. Das war der Korb an der Spitze des Krans. Der PE-Rahmen war aus Stahl, ziemlich dick und extrem schwierig zu biegen, aber davon ist der Hersteller offenbar abgegangen. Zum Glück! Trotzdem gefielen mir beide Kits sehr gut. Das kann ich auch von diesem Bausatz sagen. Interessantes Fahrzeug! Mal sehen, ob ich den irgendwo für einen vernünftigen Preis finden kann. Ich war ein wenig überrascht, dass der Decal-Bogen komplett war! Wieder mal eine sehr gute Bausatzvorstellung! ;)

Hab ich ja auch in Frankreich gekauft, die sind da nicht pingelig bei den Decals :D Ich mag von AFV-Club die Centurion Panzer sehr gerne, was für tolle Bausätze! Wahrscheinlich meine Lieblingsbausätze überhaupt.

Das klingt sehr gut! Ich habe ja bekanntermaßen eine große Schwäche für britische Fahrzeuge, fast noch mehr als für sowjetische. Da ich nun nicht allzu weit von Belgien und Holland entfernt wohne, fahre ich vielleicht mal hin und schaue, wie das bei denen mit den Decals ist. Oder ich bestelle wieder was aus Großbritannien. Ich habe einen Tamiya Schwimmwagen von dort und da sind auch alle Decals enthalten. :)

Nice review sir. I'm really liking AFV Club kits these days. I'm building their WC63 and I have their WC52 on standby. All of the parts fit like a glove and the level of detail is outstanding. That should build into a nice looking vehicle.......not as nice as a Sherman though...haha

When I lived in Imola (Bologna) there was a lot of Tamiya's kits, then I had 5 trips in Rome and I saw that there was a lot of Italeri's and Dragon's kits... in my city (South-East Italy) we have a lot of Italeri's....
