| It was probably
difficult to decide what to title this set. When you look
at what it entails, it's not the entire VVSS suspension
units, but rather only the wheels attached to the
suspenstion arms and levers. It took me awhile to track
down the source of the parts, and I finally realized that
they were modified from the Dragon suspension parts. Why,
you may ask? Well, because for some odd reason, Dragon
molded their wheels directly onto the rear suspension
arms, and the front suspension arms are molded onto the
suspension brackets. This is limiting in so many ways. By
producing these parts here, Friendship has given us some
options we didn't have before. The wheels (open spoke)
look beautiful, and are not available in any Dragon kit.
We can [partially] articulate the suspensions to depict
the tank moving over uneven ground, though to be fair,
the front and rear suspension arms operated independently
from each other. But this is far better than the fixed
arms in the kit. Casting is overall pretty good with only
a couple of easily fixed bubbles in the resin. I love
this set.
