German Hanomag Sd.Kfz. 251/1 Halftrack

I purchased this model a few weeks ago and I still haven't completed it. Shafts B16 and B18 and B17 were off center from the mold and the parts don't turn properly. The whole interior of the model does not seem to be a 1/35 scale. Regular 1/35 scale Tamiya figures do not fit in the cab or troop area. It could be this model only, but I am very disappointed with is model. I would not buy this Tamiya Hanomag Sdkfz251/1 Item 35020 again and would not recommend to a friend. Maybe I expected too much from this kit. Tamiya quality is usually much better. Again, this is from my experience with this kit. I have enjoyed all the other Tamiya models that I have purchased.

Good straight forward build. I feel like a little bit more detail would be nice in some places such as interior and undercarriage. The decals also included two sets of numbers 0-9 so you could pretty much build any half track you could ever see. Also if you get a little creative with some dirt, foliage and a lighter to melt and bend the fenders, You can take this model to a whole new level.

most ofthis kit is very strait forward it has 3 trouble spots,1 the filer onthe lower left tword the front,2 study the instructionsfor the rear doors very carefully. 3the gunner fur the front mg,needs something to stand on. that said ; this is a very good kit,figures are good lots of equipment, enjoy
