Andrew,
I have finished 2 ESCI M-60's and working on another ESCI and an Academy
kit. I have to agree that the ESCI kits are better. You do not have to
worry about motorization holes or a multi-piece hull. The Academy kit has
two extra seams where they molded the area around the return rollers as
extra pieces. I also feel that the details like the armor texture are a
little crisper on the ESCI kit.
The Academy kit isn't bad. I am working on the one with the M-9 plow. The
Academy kits come with separate vinyl tires for the roadwheels. You either
love them or hate them. Also, I feel that the tracks were weak detail-wise
in this kit. The AFV-Club tracks are much nicer.
Later,
James |
