Photo Review - AFV Club's Hunting German Tank Crew

[Sharkmouth]

1/35th scale with what I hoped was just bad artwork...

The rear of the box serves as a painting guide. The actual figures are there and one sees that the figures are worse than the artwork!

Both sprues are marked A and offer a moderate amount of flash for a newly molded figure set.

Front above and rear below:

A decal sheet is included but not up to par with the latest offerings.

The reason I got this was the dog. However, I have yet to see a breed like this one whose ears start behind their eyes!

Look at the arm on the upper left... the rabbit is no better than Tamiya's 1970s Farm Animal set.

The same arm, on the upper right, as above... swollen wrist or Lobster Claw?

A closer look at the softly detailed rabbit.

The faces seem to be done by someone with talent and not allowed to participate in developing the rest of the set.

It is rare that I feel I have wasted money and this is the first time that AFV Club was the brand to bring about the feeling.

Well that sucks Saul. That kit could have had so much potential. But that dog is just goofy looking.

Thanks for the alert to the quality of this kit, sad to see stuff like this in this day and age , I do like some of the heads although I can't help thinking that I've seen these before ie Verlinden and Tank , the reason I question this is because the heads don't look to be similar enough to be sculpted by the same person.
