This arrived today from Hong Kong at the price of £28 delivered BigGrin

Thought I would share a little review with you, I am no expert on accuracy of tanks so I will skip that part and mostly let the photos do the talking. I beleive this is a 2013 new tool kit.

WARNING: Picture Heavy





I did also purchase an RB Models replacement barrel set, unfortunately they did not come with any instructions, I am not sure if they are meant to or not but it does look a tad daunting without any. If anyone knows somewhere I can download some instructions for the assembly of their barrels I would be grateful, I have also emailed the seller.

I must say metal barrel is simply beautiful, I just hope I can work out how to assemble it without ruining it BigGrin



The first thing that hits you when you open the box is just how much has been squeezed in, the only other comparrison I have is a Dragon Tiger who's box is equally ram packed. This one contains 26 sprues Blink With the turret molded in 1 part as well as the bottom half of the main body.

Detail look to be of an excellant quality with lots of sharp small detail dotted around. You can see on the bottom of main body that the weld seems are pretty well molded too.

Flash seems to be at a very minimum with just some minor flash present in a few areas, I only noticed them on the pictures where I used macro zoom.

There also 3 frets of PE and some braided copper wire included.

The tracks are individual links, I think they will be a tad tedious to make up










Some of the sprues included with some close ups
