Russian tractor Stalinetz 65 in 1/72 scale

 

Name Stalinetz 65 (Item No. LG001)
Producer  Legato Armour, Czech Republic
Packing carton box with b/w picture on the top
Type of kit resin kit + photo-etched brass parts
Quality All resin parts are well cast with no bubbles or other problematic defects. Of course you will find little flash and strong sprue marks to remove on most of them but it’s not serious problem. The driver’s cab is cast in one hollow piece. The chassis is cast in tow pieces only but they are well detailed and usable without problem. The solution of the tracks is very interesting and simple. You just have to remove flat sprue and then can fit it to the chassis. The kit box includes also resin parts for complete engine! The brass sheet includes very nice fine etched parts of front and rear window frames, side engine covers and other fine parts for vehicle exterior detailing.
Instruction sheet graphic assembly instructions with Czech/English description of vehicle
Decals no
General Impression The first look in the boxes is very good. I suppose that the assembly of this kit will be simple and quick without many complications and I’m sure that completed model of Russian tracked tractor used as artillery towing and wrecking tractor during WW2 will be very nice.
Note These vehicles were used as agricultural tractors in peace period. I personally plan to place my model towing destroyed German tank on small diorama called ”Battlefield Cleaner”.J

I would like to thank company Legato Armour that gave as these kits free of charge for our preview.
