Instructions
As with all Orange Box kits, the instructions come in a smaller version which is divided into fourteen stages. The diagrams are clear but, as with most Dragon kits, a good read through is recommended to make sure you are certain of the sequences and options. Colour schemes for the painting and markings are included for three vehicles, one for Bosnia and the others for the USMC Desert colour scheme. One page is for the figures and shows the parts used for each figure and the painting guide all in one.
Decals
As one would expect from Cartograf, the small decal sheet is really nice and also included with the decals is a set of peel off stickers to represent the CIP’s (Combat Identification Panels) for the front of the turret.
Conclusions
This is a good kit but if you’re looking for a top notch kit or an up to date Abrams you will have to get another at a lot more cost. This kit will build into a good representation of a vehicle used in Bosnia or the first Gulf War and the magic tracks will enhance the final effect. I think this is a great addition to the Orange range and with the figures you will have a good start for making a diorama. I hope Dragon carry on in this way and bring more modern vehicles and figures to this range.
Recommended.
