Good, but could be even better Reviewer Rating: 4.0/5.04.0/5.04.0/5.04.0/5.04.0/5.0

An overall good model, easy enough to construct and I thought that the quality of the mouldings was exceptonal when put next to the price. HOWEVER, the transfers were a let-down, as they simply fell apart when left to soak in water. Also, is it me or should the GPMG Ammo box be mounted on the left side of the GPMG, and not the right.
Either way, a good unusual model, takes pride of place alongside my Challenger 2 and Warrior!


 
a nice new trumpeter kit Reviewer Rating: 3.0/5.03.0/5.03.0/5.03.0/5.03.0/5.0

First,What's in the box?
-4 plastic frames with nice molded pieces
-separate hull and a frame with upper-hull and turret
-a nice set of decals
-a little rope (rather stupid)

As said before this model has almost no fitting problems and is nicely molded in dark green plastic.(even better molded than Tamiya!!)It's very detailed and rather accurate.BUT ther're a few problems too.For example the hard to assamble weels and the hardly bending tracks .Also the manual isn't very clear at the beginning and the painting guide for the Bosnia version really sucks.(Search for pic's on the net for a better reference!!).Decals are very good and altough it's the Bosnia paint guide you get decals for other versions too(IFOR,SFOR,..).

conclusion:
nice kit..i really enjoyed building it out of box.

Contrary to my first experiences of a Trumpeter kit (Osario), this model has very few fit problems although some of the sprue attachment points are awkward to remove. The 309 pieces assemble fairly easily into an impressive model of Britains latest SP gun. Alternative parts are included for the 52- calibre "braveheart" or original 39-calibre barrel. The model is accurate when compared to photographs. The tracks are stiff to bend and I had to reinforce the idler mounts with epoxy resin glue, but they are adjustable for length; the 1st time I have seen this in 1/35th scale.

Pro: With a little care a large and impressive model is available straight from the box.

Con: Stiff tracks, also the 5-view painting and marking guide is too dark and almost useless.
