Very interesting kit. I do like the look of the tracks but I've not heard of the manufacturer. I guess they are new? Good luck with the paint job.

Very good work. Metal barrel & tracks looks great in this model.

I am looking forward to painting and weathering

Wow what a great kit
I will be watching this one !
Meanwhile on ''other'' sites Trumpeter continue to be abused and criticised beyond the pale , when you look at what they are releasing i reckon we have never had it so good !

I honestly don't understand why Trumpy is abused and criticised ... These Dragon and MENG lovers get on my nerves ..
and I love what you said Tony .... Sometimes, it's best not to rely fully on reviews

Tony,the tracks look excellent and a lot simpler then Fruil with the wire and CA glue. I will have to be on the lookout for them.
Thanks for the pictures.

Those tracks look awesome. Will have to look out for those. Nice progress so far. I am a fan of Trumpeter if I am honest, yes some of their older kits are a tad tired. But still times have moved on and even 10 years ago moulding technology wasn't as it is now, so what do people expect. Their new stuff however is lovely.
