Review Summary

The reviews highlight that the main kit is generally well-received for its assembly and final appearance, with features like functional doors and passing float tests noted positively, though the rubber tracks receive mixed feedback. The additional smaller vehicle included in the kit is consistently criticized for its simplicity and lack of detail, negatively impacting the overall impression for some. Assembly can require effort due to small parts and trimming, but the results are often seen as rewarding.

worth the effort

By: alkanews

A lot of small parts a lot of trimming, but well worth the work. Turned out to be a nice vehicle and went together well. It also passed the float test. I was most pleased with the final result.

nice kit for the scale

By: woofdogmeow

it is hard enough to find a buffalo but one that goes together well yay me! plus you get a jeep what could go wrong? well almost nothing in this case the tracks a split rubber you can glue them together but i usually staple them together and then hide the stapled section in the hull came out nice.

Average LVT4, awful Jeep

By: hhpodesta

The LVT4 kit is an average one, quite easy to assemble, no troubles there. With OK details in the outside, Nice thing is that the back door opens (it also, can be left closed) The tracks are average or below (made of rubber), the machine guns are quite simple, but they look accordingly, with the rest of the kit. The Jeep it's extremily simple, i really don't like it, and it brings down the aspect of the rest of the kit. It is 1/76 scale, this scale combined with the fact that is an average kit, make it a second line kit, in my WWII AFV collection. I recommend only the LVT4, and only if you need it.
