Takom M29 Weasel: First look in the box

[rickc5]

The kit just arrived a few minutes ago.  Not a big box--about the size of a Tamiya Jeep box--but it's full of parts:  One piece bottom hull wrapped separately.  Two sprues of suspension parts and length & link tracks--one sprue per side.  Two more sprues of upper hull pieces (8-10 parts?) and all other detail parts.  One small sprue (8 parts) for the driver. One small PE fret.  Clear parts (3).  Decal sheet with 4 sets of markings: 2 summer (white) and 2 winter (black). Instruction booklet.

OK, so LOTS of small and VERY small parts, but it doesn't appear to be too daunting of a build.  No flash on any part and no short shots.  Will take about 1/2 the time--at least--to assemble the suspension & tracks to the bottom hull.  Lots more details than the old Monogram M29C (duh!) which was anticipated & expected.  All-in-all, a very nice kit and one I'm looking forward to.  Good deal for $28 IMHO.

Here's a link to photos of all the sprues. No sense in duplicating effort in my opinion.

Looks to be a rather sweet kit Rick. I look forward to seeing you build this.

Copy and paste the original post works great to show things like this across multiple forums, as many folks here do.
