[@jbrundt]

Good review. Looks like it would be a nice build.

The 35th scale saint chamond was the same tracks and tiny went together well.

I'm building this kit at the moment. Quality is OK, but it would have been nice if they added several pictures showing the camouflage pattern on all sides. Now I have to google for a decent one.

[@roadyhobbycorner5926]

very nice unboxing, at what place did you take those pics of the real tanks?

[@oliverblumberger6633]

Roady hobby corner bit of late reply, but those pics were taken at The Bovington Tank Museum here in England :)

[@mladtheimpaler]

KiLLer MaNIaC no, only one of them looked like bovington, they only have one FT there and it's the machine gun version.

[@oliverblumberger6633]

Max W. The grey ft at 2:25 IS from the tank museum in bovington because is has the little Willie in the back ground

[@oliverblumberger6633]

Max W. The tank museum is the only place I know of that had the little Willie on a turnstile

[@oliverblumberger6633]

Max W. And at 1:57 it has the panther in the background with the red primer camo was captured at the end of ww2 by the allies and continued production

[@trappenweisseguy27]

The brick coloured spruces are an odd and unfortunate decision from Takom. And those tracks look to be a nightmare.

[@Emdee5632]

They are a nightmare. On models in 1 : 72 scale or even in 1 : 35 it's okay if the tracks are rubber, but in 1 : 16 scale it really needs to be different links. Took me some time!

[@samcolt1079]

The Takom tank that I have is in light tan and the track is in black.Yes it looke like the tracks are the problem with this build. What they show here is no help either. This will take time.
