Nevertheless, one of their products is a 1/56th scale Chevrolet 1.5 ton truck, and they were so generous to provide one of them for our project.
The set comes in a standard size box, with the instructions on the back.
As you can see, assembly is very straight-forward, and the kit contains only a handful of pieces.
Inside the box is a bubble wrap envelop that contains all the pieces:
The truck consists of 11 resin parts, and a couple of metal parts (mirrors, bumper, headlights).
There is zero flash on the parts, and you will have a hard time to spot the gates. Top notch casting! The resin is great, too, with the right balance of stability and elasticity. The details are impressive, as you can see below.
The few metal partsare packed separately. They are you regular white metal casts, and also manufactured to a very high standard. Some parts of them could be a bit thinner, but none of it caused any issues.
Assembly was a breeze. I used two-component glue, and the fit of the parts was excellent and I encountered no gaps worth adressing.
Here is a picture of the finished truck with a base coat of paint on, sitting next to a Warlord Games halftrack:
In summary, this is an awesome model and I can see a lot of uses - it would also look very good on the table in a civilian livery.
Minairons Miniatures also gave us one of there German Henschel trucks! That one doesn't really fit into a US force (although I wouldn't be surprise if the Hell on Wheels would have "liberated" a couple...), so we decided to use it as a bonus give-away!
Support Operation Good Cause before March 31st, and you are in the draw to win this model! All you have to do is to contribute some money, and you'll automatically be entered. And in the same way as with the main raffle, every $2 give you one lot.
