Not so much new - but details...............
Review from Phil Flory

All looks very nice, until............................the tracks!
That looks about 9 or 10 parts per link - and there are 76 links a side - ouch!
Looks like a VERY nice model - but those track links will take a lot of effort & patience!

That looks about 9 or 10 parts per link

I count only eight One each of F2, F3 and F4 to start with, then two F6’s and an F5 on the inside, followed by two F6’s on the outside. I admit the drawings are a little confusing, but that’s because each F2 is part of two links and for some reason they show F5 and F6 for two links at once instead of for one.

Off the top of my head, that’s still 8 × 76 × 2 = 1216 pieces, of course. I probably won’t be buying this model, or if I do, then I’ll almost certainly will be replacing the tracks by an easier kind.

Per link it is only (!) six parts - outer grip blocks F3 & F4, track pin F2, inner rubber blocks F6 x 2 and a guide horn F5

Since F2 is actually two track pins moulded together integrally with their end connectors (in reality the pins are separate as are the end connectors) then by default you also have part of the adjacent link each time you make one link

That brings the total down to only 910 parts - bargain

[Guest]

You’re right, I got confused by the third picture that also shows F6’s being installed to link the two ends of the track together. Only 910 parts, then — where do I get one of these kits?

[Dave Ward]

I would hope that when you have the parts in front of you, it's a little clearer! SMS have the RFM Easy Eight for around £45, which isn't that bad - but for £20 extra you can get it with a full interior...........

Their SWAT figures in one box...................


Not sure how much the MG08 was used in WWII.

Reboxing with crew.

And, quite a surprise................

I should think that this will be the first of B-26 variants, hopefully the earlier A-26 WWII versions...............
