Quick kit review

1/72 scale FBMinis kit no. 72002 - Railway Jeep
By Rob Haelterman from Belgie

1. Packaging:

Small sealed plastic bag.

2. Type of kit:

Resin conversion kit for the Airfix kit (but will probably fit other kits with minor adjustment). No decals. Very limited production run.

3. Quality:

Casting quality is very good, with parts on a thin carrier film (as usual for resin kits). Minimal clean-up is to be expected.

4. Contents

The set consists of 4 railroad wheels, 4 attachments for the wheels on the hull and a tow bar + stowing attachment.

5. Instruction sheet:

Very minimal instruction sheet consisting of 3 drawings. Together with pictures found on the weblog http://fbminis.blogspot.com/ these should be sufficient for the conversion. What is not mentioned is that with the parts you can either build
a) a regular wheeled jeep with or without tow bar
b) a railroad jeep with railroad wheels installed and ordinary roadwheels stowed on the hull
c) a railroad jeep with ordinary roadwheels installed and railroad wheels stowed on the hull
