If you have built the AMX 13, then it is pretty much the exact same
chassis, but with a new superstructure. Passable kits for their age and
Heller's wierd construction breakdown. Lots of small parts that vaguely
stick all over with no locating pins. The breakdown of the kit into
lots of flat panels (even the flat floor of the tank is in TWO parts) is
amazingly dumb - worse than any Russian kit. Heller has sold the same
kit in three forms: infantry carrier, ammo carrier for 155 SPG and
ambu-tank. Outside it is all the same with just different interiors. |
