Galaxy Kit # 155

by Gaby Lezen -

Reference Article in theWeb: "Missing Lynx" site: Matthew Malogorski Superdetailing the GIAT"LeClerc" Main Battle Tank .

My Own Comparisions (quickcomparisons with a walkaround obtained from the web. Addressforgotten):

- Track has no resemblanceto the correct item (seems like a T-62 Esci copy in rubber).Maybe Leopard II tracks can be used?

- External fuel tank armsoversimplified.

- Lack of rear turretdetail (bustle, box, etc.) as per photos. Only two cylinders (?)shown. (no photo reference)

- Lower rear hull lackshandles, etc.

- Hull sides lackdifferent panel definition (can be scribed) plus ventilator (?)grilles in rear right side part (not in left side in realvehicle).

- Crew turret hatches lackperiscopes details.

- Integrated smoke mortarin turret only depicted by holes, lack detail.

- No return rollers at all(but are mainly covered by side skirts).

- Drive sprocketsimplified, but again covered by side skirt mostly.

- Lack of driver'speriscopes.

- Cannon has reasonableshape (luckily, after seeing the horrible Merkava's one !!)

- Lack of sensors &antenas in turret.

- Lack of bolts aroundwhole body and turret.
