good kit, builds into an impressive model

By: rarem37

This is another good kit from Tamiya. I built it with the Desert Storm Modern Desert Sand paint scheme. Everything assembled well. There was no flash on the parts. The mine plow part of the kit will move with careful assembly and very careful use of the glue. i don't move mine, because every time I try to adjust it, I break a part. As with all Tamiya rubberband type tracks, I put a couple of staples across the track join to hold the ends together. Another hint is not to glue the drive sprockets in place before the track is added. If you thread the track around the wheels and fit the sprocket in place last with the track around it, it save stretching the track and possibly breaking it.

Nice kit

By: raidersfan19530

I am fairly new to model building but I liked this kit. It was a little hard to follow the front plow assemble but I think it still came out good.

Outstanding

By: Ron (ORLANDO)

Outstanding, I would recommend to any skill level. As the model is just wonderful. Very easy to understand instructions. This kit has been around for more than ten years and I think that is testimony of how nice a kit this is. Just exceptional; the resin is very detailed and the extremely accurate detentions and clean parts makes for a great build.
