Posted on 11 September 2012 at 00:12:33 GMT Built my first one of these this evening and what a pain in the butt! I ended up throwing it away. Will try again with the second one I bought tomorrow  |

Posted on 11 September 2012 at 08:17:09 GMT Forgot to say I was glueing mine as I went, hence no way to back-track  |

Posted on 11 September 2012 at 08:31:07 GMT I'm beginning to think with Zvedza the wheeled vehicles are not worth the hassle especially when you can get one piece resin trucks for similar prices. For 222 think I'll get mine from FiB. Tanks on the other hand seem much simpler due to fewer parts and no fiddly bits. |

Posted on 11 September 2012 at 08:55:30 GMT I was surprised at the number of pieces in the truck and armoured car kits. |

Posted on 11 September 2012 at 14:54:57 GMT I bought a load of the Opel Blitz trucks and I must admit that they where a pain in the arse to put together.
I think that the FIB trucks work out at about 40p more per truck depending on where you buy them from. Thats 40p well spent not to have to assemble them!
Zvezda tanks on the other hand are really easy. |

Posted on 11 September 2012 at 14:58:37 GMT The only problem is, I don't want my 15mm stuff on bases, otherwise I'd be in there like a shot |

Posted on 12 September 2012 at 10:07:03 GMT Managed to assemble the other one OK last night, decided to fit the pieces together first and then add glue. Not the easiest kit to assemble though  |
