Review By: Bill Curtis
Initial Assessment
This is the first release of a modern armour subject in the Orange range and it’s a good choice, as this is probably one of the best tanks in the modern armoury. The box contains nine sprues, the hull tub, magic tracks, a sprue of figures, decal sheet and instructions.
Accuracy
The tank is a good representation of the vehicle with crisp mouldings. The figures are also good, with faces with some expression but they are not as good as resin offerings, though they remain useable in a diorama setting.
Quality
The quality of the kit has held up well with no visible sink or mould marks since it was first released and no knock-out marks are going to be visible if made buttoned up, though some clean-up will be required in the hatch areas if left open. This kit has no slide moulded barrel, so you will be left with making a two-part gun barrel to clean up or replace with an aftermarket offering.
