Trumpeter Famo 1/72

Today's post is the excellent Famo from Trumpeter, Trumpeters kits are of varying quality, but this kit is definitely from their "A" team, its a very detailed kit, in truth probably over detailed, each track piece has 2 pieces, track and track pad, in 1/72 its a bit of a pain, but the results are very good, it has a full engine and the under vehicle is very detailed, the front wheels are rubber (not my favourite option) but hold paint well. It looses 1/2 a point for the over complicated tracks 9/10
Figures are from Praiser, these are excellent hard plastic multi part figures, the figs are a mixture of a couple of different packs, their proportions are perfect for 1/72, and detail is very good 9/10
Stowage is mostly resin recasts and scratch built pieces, the only detailing I needed to add was the wire frames, I left the sides of the bonnet off to show the engine, but can't see it in the photo's. Weathered with pastels.
