Good afternoon one and all,
This is going to be my entry into Dave's Halftrack GB. He picked it and thanks for that Sir. The kit is full resin and quite exquisitely cast. I will do a small background on it when I begin the build. First, I have to finish my Mossie before starting this GB. With luck, that will be around the middle of this month. Without further Blah Blah, here's what we got,
The instructions and they are not too shabby,
Huge decal sheet and accessoires on the inside of the box lid,
The resin castings and you can see how well the pieces are cast. The stubs on them practically fall off without damaging the part,
Note the 4 lengths of cast tracks and the two curved sections for the idler wheel. The tracks are molded on the drive sprockets to make life easy. The alu barrels are also pre-mounted in their tube holders,
What's also nice is the parts are bagged together for the building step at hand. No need to go hunting all over the place for the parts needed. You even get a bunch of 8cm mortar shells. The main body/chassis is cast in one piece and very nicely detailed including weld marks on the armor plates,
I'm really excited to finally give this fine kit a whirl. I just need to replenish my CA stash before I begin. Hope to see you when I startmessing up building her............
