 Subject:  Revell Kanonenjagdpanzer kit is trash!List thread.  
  
 Date:  Jul 5, 2008

Hi guys,

Just bought the new Revell kit Kanonenjagdpanzer (03068) and it is probably the worst 'new' kit I've seen for a long time.

All bogie arms have sink marks like many other parts, the backside of the double wheels are plain discs, the tracks are completely wrong and all, really all detail is crude 70's Ukraine style! The plastic has the same 70's Soviet feel to it, soft, thick and feeling 'soapy'.

Don't know about the fit, but I'm even not interested in trying out.

The only thing worth the spare box is the decal sheet!

The worst spend €25,00 in a long time, I really feel conned out of my money to be honest.

So don't waste your hard earned cash on this piece of trash, or you must be a real fan of this vehicle and willing to spend a small fortune on AM and many, many hours on scratch building.

Very, very sad to see an AFV kit I was waiting on for a long time being mistreated in this way! 'State of the art' 40 years ago it is. Shame on you Revell!

Cheers,
Alex
