Good Airfix kit

Looks great.

Once finished, it looks great, but I find it hard to believe it's an Airfix product. Normally the sprues are identified by a letter, A,B,C,D, etc and the parts on each sprue are numbered sequentially. So for example, the instructions would show C4 being attached to D26 and so on. However in this kit, not only are the sprues not identified, but the numbers are not sequential; Part 103 could be next to part 5 for example. That means for every part you need, you have to search all the sprues, looking for the part number you want. This is made worse by the numbers being badly pressed. 35 might look like 85 for example. It is frustrating and time-consuming and certainly time-wasting.There is a lot more flash on this kit which suggests it's an old model that's been remade using the original tooling that's probably past its prime. (Or it's a knock-off.)The decals are shocking. The roundel for the roof of the tractor is too big and all the decals have way too much border that overlaps the locations and makes them difficult to fix. I ended up having to trim them wet, which is a risky business.The parts used a pre-coloured sandy colour plastic for desert use, which I needed to overpaint for my purposes, but it didn't take well to it or the weathering process.You will need to study the instructions very carefully as it's not always clear in which order some parts need to be assembled. I was also frustrated by the figures. one of the sitting-down Bofors gun crew's legs were too long to fit between the seat and his pedals and I had to fix his seat further back instead of on its lug. The driver of the tractor's legs were so long I couldn't fit the side of the bonnet in place and actually ended up cutting off his feet! they weren't going to be in view thankfully. And yes, I did make sure I had the right figure in the right place.All in all, pleased with the final result, but very disappointed with the product's quality.

Purchased during the Prime Day sale, I only paid £5 for this kit. Having just finished the BOFORS gun, these smaller vehicles are a nice break from aircraft I usually build.The tooling of the kit is up to the usual standard from Airfix and you actually get crew with these models unlike the aircraft that no longer come with pilots :(

The molds for this kit were made in 1963 (as stated on the box) and I think it was about that time that I first built it as a wee lad at the kitchen table with my father. The quality of the plastic parts therefore reflects the age of the molds with lots of flashing and ejection marks but that didn't distract from the joy of building the kit and the memories it brought back, and it didn't turn out too bad. I'm looking forward to building the other vintage kits I've ordered.

Good value

it’s a good model kit and would recommend

La calidad del plastico es muy buena casi no tiene rebabas y esta muy pero muy bien esplicado el instructivo las calcas de muy buena calidad , onestamente quede facinado a esepcion de un detalle el plastico es mas fragil de lo normal lo cual si es una desbantaja gracias a que al ser piesas pequeñas es facil romperlas .
