After building the Revell Morris tractor and 17pdr kit with the cool diorama base thingy this kit caught my eye on eBay. Another bargain with no box, but who needs the box anyway. I found a picture of the actual box on the internet so there it is. This kit was just a nice, relaxed evening’s work I think. It did not take long to build straight out of the box, but very nice all the same. It comes with his own diorama base of a hillock, and some tank tracks over a puddle and a burnt-out tree stump. Not much to tell you apart from I enjoyed making it. The tracks are the rubber kind that you just glue and stretch around the wheels, I think my glue dissolved one of the joins so i had to do some improvising on where I managed to hide the join. All the bits go together nicely, but it does show it’s age when you compare to a newer version of the same vehicle from a company like Vespid. I took a photo of them together to show the difference. The Vespid kit was very nice and larger in scale at 1/72, compared to the Matchbox/Revell kit at 1/76. I added some aerials from plastic to match a photo I had seen somewhere, but apart from that did very little to change the model. I particularly liked the little base and spent some time decorating and making the puddle look puddly with some gloss varnish. Most enjoyable all round. I now have found a copy of Monty’s Caravan from the same range which is next in the queue. Fun times!
