A nice little kit but it also has a few disadvantages but if you are looking for quick fun, you should still be well served.
Here I also use the opportunity to reduce my inventory of conversion parts a bit;).
There are two options for the bogies included- a one-piece, simplified version and one to assemble.
I had no problems with the fitting accuracy of the parts and the alu barrel from Aber also fitted without any reworking.
The included rubber tracks look quite passable (for rubber tracks;))
Disadvantage: All lifting lugs are solid, the protective brackets for periscopes and lamps are missing and the screw connection on the hull front is not shown particularly accurately.
I also removed the rear side vents and added some from Dragon's M4.
The fit of the OKB tracks (S72130) wasn't quite as perfect and didn´t match 100% with the wheels of Calibre72 (72008) in width.
Although they fit together with the teeth of the drive wheel but this had to be widened.
I´ve also use the obligatory gun barrel from Aber (72L-32) and a .30 and .50 barrel each from Master (GM-72-001/ GM-72-002).
For a more detailed .50 Browning, I used a Armory set (AR AC7240).
To add or improve additional details, I used a PE set of Part (P72-121) and Hauler (HLH72028) and a cable set from Eureka XXL.
In order to attach the equipment and the sandbags (Black Dog T72085), I quickly removed all the underlying details.
Since the set is intended for the Dragon kit, I had to fill a few gaps around the sacks in the back.
I took the figure from CMK (F72114) and slightly modified it to fit.
Once again i cooperate with my friend Chan Li.
A project for international exchange ?
