I've had my eye on a few of these eary war Gecko British tanks, but never got around to getting one as the company is a bit of an unknown to me. Have you found it a good kit to build? The results are certainly impressive!

Thank you, guys.
This was my first Gecko kit, and I can say that I am absolutely impressed! One of the best kits I have ever built. Dragon's kits are the most similar, but the instructions are much better (no errors at least) and maybe a bit better engineering. The only issue with this kit was the exhaust, which was unnecessarily complex (it took me 25% of the time to assemble the damn exhaust 🙂
Also, I see that some reviews are complaining about the tracks, but except for being a bit time-consuming, I didn't have any issues with them. And they look fantastic.
Overall, strongly recommended. At least this kit 🙂

Just got my Scimitar 2 looks well detailed and thought out.If it turns out as good as your cruiser I will be chuffed.

Looks fantastic! Like you, I found the tracks to be fine. A lot of work, sure, but they look great and are workable. I've built three full sets (A10 and two A9s) and still here. Your camo looks perfect.

Very nice work, especially the restrained weathering came out top notch.

Thank you guys. F Matthews, I have a few more in the stash as well. I will probably build A10, in the Greek campaign next.

Gorgeous mate... Well done... I've heard mixed reviews on this kit... Lots of tedious and fragile assembly... How'd you find it...?

Thank you, Eddy. I liked this kit very much. Yes, it is a bit tedious to build, especially the muffler and the tracks, and more complicated assembly than needed, but it has no major problems. Fit is great, details are fantastic, and I didn't do any measurements, but other people say it's very accurate.

Great to hear mate... I was rather impressed with Gecko Models after building their GS 4x2 Truck, but it seems tedium is commonplace with their kits.. None the less you've done a cracker job mate...
