British Heavy Tank FV214 Conqueror Mk I

Ron Garcia
My first amusing Hobby kit and it was a good one. This was an easy kit to build. I can honestly say this is the first kit that I have built with working tracks that actually fulfilled that promise. The links clicked together and were a breeze to put together.

The only trouble I had was with the PE braces that are supposed to hold the tow cables in place. There are no bend lines so it was a bit difficult to make sure they all bent in the same Z shape. It was all for naught anyway because when I actually ran the wire underneath them - Zing! - they all started popping off to parts unknown. I used the tow cables without them and they still look fine.

A couple of nitpicks are that there are no clear parts and gun mantlet cover. Not a big deal but still...

So, a nice ending to my last British tank in my stash. Highly recommended!
