Here's my entry to the WW1 sig. Emhars 1/35 Whippet Mk A medium tank.
I've never built an Emhar kit before, so no idea what to expect!
Here's some pics of what's in the box.
Box art
Three sprues
Tracks
Destructions and decals
First impressions
No apparent flash on the parts, only slight seams on tubular parts like exhausts. Plastic is very thick and strangely hard. Not sure how that's going to affect the build?!
Tracks are ok(ish), they're kind of link and length, but they're also flexible. Not flexible like the usual rubber tracks, more like the stuff poly caps are made from. Again, not sure how they'll turn out? Lol!
Destructions are a little strange. They have the usual pictoral assy diagram, then a sequence of numbers showing what order to add the parts. Simple enough, but just looking can be a bit awkward!
You see the first number in the sequence, then find that in the pic, then look for the next number in the sequence, then find that in the pic, and so on. Needless to say, I won't be doing that!
There are three or possibly six decal options?! There's three main options, two Brit and one Ger. then another scheme that is some wierd mish mash of three types. No explanation as to what's going on there, so I'll avoid it! Also, for the main options, there's no info on what units are being depicted, so a bit of research will be in order for that.
As for the decals, I've never seen any quite like it. They're very flat, but have a very strange look on the backing card. That's not to say they won't work, just look a bit wierd.
So that's it for now, I'll try and identify what tanks were with what unit, then I'll post up some bumf on the whippet.
Thanks for looking, and good luck with your builds!
PS I thought Emhar were a Brit company, but turns out these are made in China. Boo!
