Quality

Bigger resin parts are relatively well cast with no bubbles and there are only few flashes on them. Smaller parts are covered with thick resin film, which can make troubles to modelers with less experience. The bumper parts are not included in the kit but you will find in graphical instruction how to make them of plastic rod.

General Impression
I guess that completion of both kits will be simple and quick and that final result are two nice small models of both versions of not so known Japanese WW2 scout car.
Note I haven’t found any reference drawings as well as many pictures yet. Therefore please let me know if you can help me concerning this matter. Thanks in advance.

I have received the four seat version kit as present from Philip Van Acker (Tracks & Troops) during one of his visit of Prague.

I got two seat version kit directly from Vac-U-Cast directly but thanks to one of our American colleagues only. Thanks Bob!
