For anyone starting out in the hobby or people like me, finally getting to grips with an airbrush, this kit will do fine despite it's deficiencies, thanks for the review.
I built this kit a very long time ago and enjoyed it throughly back then 😊 Your version looks great, even though it might not be 100% accurate it still looks good.
Cheers mate tbh with some kits I think you have to just be like its good enough, perfection can be expensive also. but I do want to make a more accurate one at some point just ot play spot the differance
'Overall, though i found the build process on this model simpel and easy, apparently because half of it is not there'. That made me cough up my coffee..😂
Nice review. Have built this kit way back in early 2000s. I placed a 37mm anti-tank gun in place of the forward machine gun - thought it looked cooler. Awesome camo job on that kit!!
Advantages of the original 1973 kit : sharper moulds, less warping or flash. Advantages of the newer releases : "fresher" decals (which tend to yellow over time), sometimes even new improved decals.
Yeah with tamiya the first ones are the best, decals wise I have not seen any yellow yet, but a lot of the time I paint and weather over them so that yellows them so I might not have noticed.

Deffo, its a perfect paint mule, not going to break the bank and enough detail to have a play with. Glad you enjoyed the video mate

Could you shoot me the length, width, and height please?
I'm looking for a proxy for my 40k Ork Trukks.
Thanks
Its 16cm long mate, 5.5cm high, and 6cm wide. Would be a big ork truck but probably just passable as the ork version of a 16 wheeler
@@scalestuff1066 A bit longer, and a little less wide. Thanks man.
You can get the shorter types of the half track but I forget the code for them, if thats of any help
