BigGrin Hi All

This is a full resin kit from Accurate Armour of the standard WW2 wrecker used by the alies. As a full detail kit it has the engine and all the drive shafts for the crane and wheel drives and consists of 200 plus parts in the kit including resin,etch, chain brass rod and wire there is also a full set of stowage items in the kit along with decals.

The kit is in AA's card box and protected with bubble wrap, on opening the box you see the instructions and the parts below it made from grey resin. All the parts are crisply moulded but as with all resin kits will need some fettling to get the best out of them. Most impresive was the single chassis casting.

The instructions are well detailed and have both pictures and a write up for each stage along with deployed and traveling crane modes.

A very nice kit with loads of detail that also has lots of characterDrool Drool .

Nice looking kit, should be an interesting build. AA do make highly detailed, quality resin kits, the extra work required with resin is usually well forth it.
