Cruising around in my A9 CS

[scottie3158]

This is my next build, I picked it up at the Spalding model show. Yes know it's another tracked thing, I must need my bumps feeling.

A first for me a Gecko offering. On opening the very large box a lot of plastic bags with the sprues in. Rather than bore you with a lot of sprue pictures I have posted a picture listing them all.

On first impressions they seem nicely moulded in a softish but very workable plastic with good detail. On looking through the instructions which appear nice and clear I noticed that items are shown assembled that are not included in the kit. For example there are a few rounds on the interior wall that are included but the instructions show a load of ammunition in a circular magazine that are not to be found or shown how to fit them.

I have made a start on construction and will post some pictures later.





cheers
Scottie

Hi Scottie
Front and centre please. I've read good things about Gecko kits. Certainly looks as if it will keep you out of mischief for a while.
