Airfix Vintage Classics Set A01304V Churchill Mk.VII

This is a good kit. It is also relatively easy to construct.

Cool vintage kit

(As is common with most kits no paints or glue are supplied) Despite this Vintage Classic kit dating from 1967 the plastic parts carry very little flash. The model is a little tricky to assemble in places, particularly the rubber band tracks, which didn’t seem to reach all the way around my tank and left a gap. I filled it with plastic card (so I put the join on the bottom). I glued the tracks on with 5 minute epoxy from Gorilla. The rear steering wheels also gave me trouble and I had to just glue them in position despite the instructions saying they can be adjustable. Lots of YT videos on how to build and paint this model, I went with the rear box art paint scheme, which apparently was to try and hide the tanks from enemy planes and spotter balloons before the battle, they ditched the idea pretty quickly as it just got covered in mud. Overall it’s a cheap kit (I paid £7 for mine) and despite it’s issues I had fun making and painting it. It seems relatively accurate to the one I've seen in the tank museum, although more skilled builders can modify it more. I wouldn’t buy it as a first kit though best to stick with a more modern kit and try this when the builder has more experience.

good

Very small, but good for beginners. Could not get the tracks on

Good kit

Very nicely done Airfix... Although this is a vintage classic and quite dated it goes together very nicely. I have completed the LCM 3 and it looks fantastic. The Sherman is halfway to completion and will be used to complete the Scammell Tank Transporter. Recommended for anyone who has a modelling interest, especially the beginner

Brought for my husband, who is happy with the item.

I love Russian tanks

Do companies understand that this is the age of the 3D printer, and that people are not completely at their mercy? I've bought models four times this volume at the same price. It's made of plastic, you know - not gold! You can afford to make it a little bigger. There's no need to be SUCH cheapskates. And the way it fits together! No thought given to design at all. Dozens of tiny parts, and the edges of the floor, walls and ceiling of the main tank are thin edges THAT DO NOT FIT INTO EACH OTHER IN ANY WAY and have to be glued together. A miserable job. A good model for people who enjoy useless pain and have too much time on their hands.

今のプラモデルの精密さや組みやすさと比べたらまるでおもちゃですが、この時期のプラモデルは何とも言えない味わいがあります。値段も安いし手軽に組めるのがいいですね。

parfait
