You mention dragon having parts spread over many sprues, but i find its more a case of they share so many sprues with other kits that youll have multiple sprues labelled "E". But i have been building the Miniart AEC armored car which fits your description of many parts over many sprues for just the turret. I think you built one of their russian tanks not too long ago.. Tamiya are my favorite for aircraft (but chuck away the decals) and i like new tool tamiya armor, but hate the old vinyl tracks. Like the new matilda, where there are 2 sets of tracks, link and length or rubber tracks that glue with regular solvent glue.
Correct me if I am wrong, but for some strange reason, I get the feeling you really really liked this kit!!! Don't know what gave me that idea, just a hunch maybe??? LOL
Great Review. Watching from Vancouver, BC. I was contemplating buying this kit.
It’s a great kit. 👍
Always love a well engineered Tamiya kit to make life fun again. Why can't everyone produce such lovely kits and with such nice plastic ;)
Hopefully will be less frustrating than some of your previous projects! Looking forward to the final result!
It was a great kit.
The original tool for the BT7 was 2010 - very good kits.
