For a tiny model as such 1/72 scale, there is an amount of pieces....and you need eighteen steps to finish the kit.

The instruction sheet is clear to understand and simple.....maybe so simple! The paint colour page, for example, is extremely basic and doesn’t content any explication where you must add the decals.

On the art box you will see that the model comes with a PE set and a metal barrel. Isn’t the barrel, is the hull....

One thing that I hate.....because I usually love to drill this part, for adding some stick or similar and work the model as a simple piece....


The model looks really good and the detail at this scale is simply excellent. So will be a challenge trying to keep all these details visible using colour modulation, filters and washes....:rolleyes:
Well...this is my first thought after open the box: Excellent detail, a good quality and there are many possibilities that this kit turns a nicely model once build. Maybe the most difficult part will be the cage armour.....there are many and many tiny PE there!!!!

Thanks for looking, as always.
Ok! Let's work ;)
 
WOW! that looks very complicated for 1/72 Polux. It looks like a great kit though and I know you'll work your magic on it , just make sure youve got the magnifier out for all those tiny pe pieces!!! cheers tony
 
Cripes! there are more parts and more detail in that than there is in some 1/35 scale kits.

That looks a great kit Polux, looking forward to seeing more of this one.

As I have said before, these are really good kits. I doubt any other 1/72 kit would have the detail and build depth that these have. Look forward to seeing it come together Polux

This is a challenge. I like the tank. so detailed for this scale.

Surprising....:eek:
For finish the turret you ONLY need to glue thirty eight pieces! :confused:

As you can see, I added some new scratch pieces.
I saw on the instructions, and the art box, that there are those little “whatever you call”; that are missed on the model.
I just glued now, so once dry I will cut on their correct size. ;)

38 parts. That's almost as many as in the whole of the Leopard I just built.
 
Very nice Polux, 1/72 is a difficult scale but I'm sure you will do a crackup job!........Jim:)
