Spanjaardnice 262, maybe too heavy on the chipping side of things, but nice anyway

Jan-Erik PalmgrenThank you for your comment. I was so unhappy with my performance and the kit, so I wanted to use this as test subject for very heavy chipping and weathering. I used 3 kind of chipping liquid at different parts to see how they differ from each other. Plan was also practice, if I someday will do a crashed and forgotten plane diorama. This ended up being a teaching moment for me.

Ron GarciaFinishing my British armor stash, I realized this tank was missing from my collection. Not wanting to wait forever for the Bronco version from China on eBay, and since I never built a kit from Gecko, I picked up this one instead. The kit was nice but challenging!
The tracks were NOT fun! Cutting and cleaning three items per link is tedious. Putting them together was worse. I believe they are supposed to be workable. Good luck with that! You would have to use the tiniest drop of liquid cement on the edges where the top and bottom links trap a pair of mating pins. Capillary action alone will suck the cement right next to the pin rendering it rigid quickly. I didn't care if mine were workable or not; I just wanted them to have enough flexibility so I could wrap them abound the running gear. Testors liquid cement was great for this as it has a slower setting time. Putting all those links together, takes a long time. A six link jig is provided but it is pretty useless. Being styrene like the tracks, the jig will quickly accumulate cement and glue itself to the tracks. You pretty much have to put them together two to three links at a time on whatever surface works best for you. Did I already mention tedious?
The only other pain was the exhaust. It would take too much time to accurately describe how overly complicated it is. I will give one tip, though. The two PE parts 11 will not fit on the attachment pins once parts Ea55 and Ea56 are glued together. My suggestion is to cut both parts out, cut each into thirds where the holes for the attachment pins are, and then glue the three separate pieces to the completed exhaust. I didn't figure this out until after I had enclosed the exhaust in the grille and left them off. Those parts are used to attach the braces to the rear of the tank. I managed to get the braces to work without them, but it was time consuming. I'll just sum it up by saying, "Have fun!"
Those two things were the worst part of the kit. Everything else was straightforward except for the jack block bracket. There are two arms that require at least eight bends each in the PE. I gave it a shot just to see what would happen. Predictably, the first arm broke off after the third bend so I tossed the whole assembly. It will look fine without it, and since it was one of the last steps in the kit, it was time to move on.
A partial interior is included as well as a figure, but I didn't use either. The interior because I'm just not into that and the figure because it is molded in a desert uniform and I was modeling a France 1940 version. I do plan to try it with another kit, though.
Comparing this kit to the Bronco A10 is interesting because of the PE. Both companies used PE for parts that the other company molded in styrene (but not everything). Which leads me to say that both kits would have been a whole lot faster to build if they would have skipped most of that PE and used styrene instead.
Overall, you'll get a nice looking model out of this kit. Would I ever build one of these again? Not in a million years!

Eddy MarshallCheers Ron of the rundown of this kit... I had my eye on it but after completing Gecko's GS 4x2 Truck but it sound like the same needlessly overly complex and fragile builds are commonplace for Gecko Models...It was my first 35th scale Truck build and simply thought the tedium was just the norm for a truck... I couldn't imagine the tracks being any fun whatsoever... And why are company's trying to make Indy links workable with minuscule pins without supplying a link and length option is beyond me...

Alec KGreetings! Here are some pics of my new build. Skating back into the post-WW II period, it's the first Soviet supersonic fighter, the MiG-19. The original KP had this aircraft in their lineup back when and it was the first kit I have completed fully by myself as a wee lad. I was actually home "sick" from school for a week recovering from chicken pocks. Instead of heling myself appropriately in bed, I modeled illicitly at the kitchen table as soon as my parents left for work. Ahhh, what a glorious week…
The kit is the much-reviled 2019 "new tool" from KPs "traditional manufacturer" (or usurper, depending on where one stands in this ongoing mud-slinging match). It's a short-run technology kit, so "traditional" in that sense but really a bit old-school for today's pampered modeler. In the "modern" era, Trumpeter had it in their catalog in 2008 but it was never released. Clear Prop has been working on it last few years but the events in Ukraine clearly impacted its release. Rather than wait for a better offering, I decided to go for it and build the KP's kit with few PE and resin bits thrown in. Hope you enjoy!

Zbynek HonzikIt's gonna be another ride!
I'm taking a seat and I'll be watching closely. And I'm sure I'll learn something.
Thanks for sharing Alec!

Alec KThanks all for coming along and your positive comments 👍 This build is coming along nicely, so far...

Łukasz GlińskiOh wow, what a topic, watching for sure, even though it might kill my will to build my Farmers afterwards 😄

GoodstuffI just started to build this monster. One thing I noticed is that this particular kit(year 1996 nr.9036) does not seem to have the jack on the back plate. Both previous and later kit has.This kit only has two tiny notches and regarding this notches, the manual says they should point upwards but in the few pictures I've found, all model builders seem to have mounted these notches pointing downwards. What is the correct way?
