M10 Booker from Magic Factory | Armorama™

ALL the crews I’ve seen operating the M10 wore tanker’s coverall, except during admin moves.

Just ordered mine! Along with the Magic Factory M2A2

Not sure how long the price will last. Pre-order shipments could arrive in a week or so!

You should have. The Takom 250 is an outstanding kit. I have a buddy who built one and the detail and fit is outstanding.

Hah! Sorry Reynier - you’re assuming that Brit military procurement works - if simply doesn’t(!)

However, i take your point re finishes and the like.

Wonder if I can email Andy and get him to add it to my order before it ships!

I already have the 250/1, might as well add the /3

Yeah! I think that the UK has the same level of priorities on their military procurement like the US. I got to get that off my mind. The British MoD doesn’t spend as much as our DOD. No deep pockets as we have. :frowning:

I was reading the in-box review of the kit on ML and it says each track link is made up of 9 parts (!), which means a total of 1,500+ parts to assemble both tracks. I’m all for detail, but I’ll pass.

Great points, Jon. I wasn’t going to buy the kit until I saw the tracks. Magic Factory pulls off RFM quality engineering, MF will become a personal favorite! :wink:

If the metal pins fit properly it probably won’t be too bad. Annoying to glue half pads together but a least there shouldn’t be any punch marks on the tracks.

Worst case, mine will get tossed into a club raffle if the tracks are badly engineered. If the manufacturer was Dragon, I wouldn’t touch this kit with a ten foot pole.

I love the optimism! :grin: You are correct that it doesn’t look like there are any pin marks to cleanup. So that only leaves 12 sprue attachment points based on the sprue pics to clean-up. Those $60 sprue nippers are probably looking like a good investment…

2000 part kit with 75% devoted to the tracks - not the first company to do this, but definitely doesn’t sound like fun, and I’m the first one who wants more detail and loves adding individual nuts and bolts and rivets.

Reminds me of the Takom Mark IV that came out about ten years ago. Each link was 5 pieces, so about 900 pieces for both tracks. Everyone complained and Takom’s next kits had one piece clickable tracks!

The tracks are T161 tracks, the same as on newer Bradleys. If someone want to replace the kit tracks, I’m sure our own Jacques Duquette (@JacquesD) could update/change his 3D printed Bradley T161 tracks to fit the M10.
