 |
| hull, fender is nice and thin but a bit warped |
 |
| hull, fender cracked on my kit, nothing to hard to fix |
 |
| Only a couple of air bubbles in the sand shield (easy to fix) and in the rear engine deck (bit harder to fix) but overall well cast |
 |
| running gear molded with the side plate, flash between the wheels will be easy to remove but the idler will be very hard to fix |
 |
| tiny turret, maybe even a bit to small? |

Real 1/72 kit
Scale: length 3,94m 54,7mm 55mm
width 2,16m 30mm 32mm
hight 1.85m 25,7mm 26mm
so overall pretty close but a bit too large.
Good parts:
- As far as I know this is the only 1/72 M22 Locust. (update now also a plastic M22 see below)
- low part count
- hardly any flash
- well cast
- good instructions
- has decals
Bad parts:
- solid idler
- missing head light guards
- missing the strengthening bar between the bogies
- broken and warped vendors will be hard to fix
