Assembled model 1/35 tank Iraqi Medium Tank Type 69-II 2 in 1 (69-II or 69-IIC) Chinese Takom 2054 This is a die-cast plastic for a military vehicle model. This Iraqi Type-69 II Medium Tank kit includes individual tracks, decals for 6 marking options, as well as photo-etched and clear parts. A detailed metal tow cable, external fuel lines and a rubber dust cover for the weapon are also included. All hatches can be built in the open or closed position, and all support rollers can be installed in a damaged state. Cast from gray plastic. New from Takom for the Type 69 II with the number 2054. The Type 69 II allows you to create three variants of the Iraqi army from 1991 or 2003. In addition, it can also be built as a tank for the Thai army. Kit consists of 17 light gray plastic atomizer frames, frame with clear parts, housing base, printed circuit board with photoetched details, poly covers and vinyl canvas cover for gun mask, wire rope, small sticker sheet, individual chain links and turret top . The assembly instructions lead to the goal in 38 chapters. It is very clearly structured and, as mentioned above, allows you to create four different options. There are also some components that are not used in this model. Happy with the litter box, but be careful when building it... not that you install the wrong component and then look thrifty from the laundromat. For coloring, a sheet of DIN A4 paper with color printing on both sides is included, showing four coloring options. Each tank is shown as five sides, color references refer to colors from the Ammo of Mig series. The quality of the details of the set is very good. The die casting is very clean, with sharp edges, and only a few spots show easy-to-remove casting residue.
I especially like the single link chain. The chain links are already in the bag and do not need to be removed from the spray frame or cleaned. Perfectly! I find it quite boring, tiring and annoying to cut and clean several links of the chain... However, the chain does not stay flexible later, the links have to be glued.
Overall, I'm thrilled with this kit. The only drawback, in my opinion, is the onboard cannon. The pipe must be assembled from two halves and glued together. But there are inexpensive alternatives with turned aluminum tubes on the aftermarket. Therefore, replacing a complete gun is easy, cheap and highly recommended. In addition, the model is unconditionally recommended. Due to the existing photoetched parts and single-link circuit, a beginner may have difficulties, some model building experience is required. But for the advanced fashion designer, it's a nice all-in-one kit that makes the hobbyist's heart beat faster...
