Wade's World Reviews - Various AFV’s

Garrand, thank you for mentioning that! I managed to tact the tracks together by VERY generously coating both end connectors where they overlap with Testor’s Liquid Cement, waited a minute and coated again. Pressed & held them for a minute or so. They seem secure but I don’t like the kits tracks. I don’t trust them (mine) to stay together under tension over time.

Haven’t decided to replace them with TRex or Quick Track yet but the getting replaced.

Wow, I probably should look at some additional Asuka instruction sheets. Wouldn’t have guessed they’d fumbled other kits that way.

Greg, Thank you!

I have a set of AFV Club workables I bought for the Border M4A1. I might pinch those, since I want to do a Normandy era M4. But I’ll probably just buy another set for this kit as well.

They are glueable. The instructions normally tell you to glue them with superglue :slight_smile:

The Border kits are poor in accuracy and detail and can’t hold a candle to the Asuka and RFM kits.

Happily Border Models ignorant excluding two Pz IV’s and plan to stay that way.

Personally, not fan some Border artwork that floated around. Brewing up the tank that in the box?

Clueless :see_no_evil:

BTW - Was that ever released on a box?

Nope. Border just released the kit, with new box art.

Not after the criticism of it showing 1) a tank that appears to be brewing up, and 2) a small-hatch hull with a 76 mm turret.

Did that. Did not hold together, & the superglue flaked off.

They replicated the scene in “Fury” where Sgt. Peterson’s tank, “Old Phyllis” was hit by the Tiger, after Sgt. Peterson’s head was atomized by an 88mm round.

Yes, I’d read that. Thank you for pointing out the background of the art work and inspiration.

Border Model’s bold and clueless enough (to me) to use this as inspiration for boxart for a Cybertruck kit.

I admire the effrontery of the owner of Border Model’s saying on Chinese social media he’d eat 1.5 kg of $#!+ if Border’s Pz IV G wasn’t the best G on the market. However, I think that attitude gets Border in trouble on occasion.

Three & a half :wink:

Joey counts as a cat & a half since he’s 18 to 20 pounds depending on the season…wink.

Kali-Katt firmly vetoed any more cats. That’s probably the only thing she & Jesse-Katt agree on.
