i received them in early december but … so, another out of the box from Neucraft Models .
The Canadian Otter Mk1 , one of those armored cars produced in the Commonwealth during WW2 , and a French Renault R35, the most common French infantry tank .
as what became usual with Neucraft products quick service, 10 days from China to France ( and 3 days in custom ) .
First of all , on the two models, less than 5 minutes of work before priming . No flash, no molding lines, no hole to drill , a modeller dream .
The Otter mk 1 :
note that on this model only the Boys ATR barrel, the smoke grenade launcher and the hatch have been glued .
the biggest model , in size, and with 18 parts ( 5 wheels, Turret, Front Hatch,Smoke grenade launcher, Tool Box or antena, Exhaust pipe, waffle-board, optional 2 front lights,BOYS ATR barrel,Bren Gun…) And with a quite detailed underbelly … and a bit of sponsoring from a tyres manufacturer ? ( as there are logos on the tyres )
Just keep in mind that there is no room in the turret for a Perry Miniatures Tank crewman , you'll have to use a warlord, or just a head .
mine will finish as a Desert Rat HQ vehicle in Tunisia .

then the Renault R35 :
It's the greatest French tank model i have ever seen . This little thing is perfect . I can't say more . Perfect in size , perfect resin work, separeted tracks and exhaust pipe who fit without a hard work, the 2 turret models used on the R35, the 2 guns used, and even an optional oil dispender, and 4 separeted shackles quite usefull to fix some chain .

This little tank will become the bulk of a Vichy tank platoon in Syria scenarios .
takes on quite a substantial project.
