    is this one of the worst kits ever produced

    Whilst unpacking a box that has been in storage for years I came across this monstrosity I can't remember buying it. And judging by the amount of dust and it costing £ 6.00 it was along time ago.
    The instructions are in Chinese,everything is over or under scale and the tracks wouldn't look out of place on a modern APC

    Well I know nothing about armour but looks like it's made of plastic so definitely as described, I wouldn't go to court with it

      Looks good to me Colin.
      I've built the Airfix Victory starter kit.

        That is a definite candidate for Ian's WWII kit bash GB! No harm in chopping/adding to it!

          Nothing wrong with it...apart from the fit in places. The BlueTank models are a bit iffy.

              I hate to disagree si I can't find anything right with it its got the wrong tracks nothing is to scale. The only thing it has in common with a real alligator is its roughly the right shape

                I was winding you up Col They are...poor to say the least. Would make a superb, knocked out and rusty relic though.

                A bit like the 1/35 Sherman I did.

                    Is it worth the cost in aftermarket parts? Might be worthwhile to use this as a test bed for paint schemes etc and get a better model, that is if you're after one.

                        Yours maybe one of the worst kits ever produced, but here's another. I didn't even get decals in this, I got stickers !
