Description
Overall I'm very impressed. Border provides a complete engine and interior for their 251. The tracks are individual links (i.e. not rubber band tracks). The detailing looks really good.
I compared the Border 251 against an AFV Club example that I had in my stash to get an idea of how well Border's 251 matches up. The length and width of Border's 251 are more or less identical to my AFV Club example. Border has molded the bottom portion of their 251 as a single piece and it's nicely done. It seems like it should assemble much more easily the the AFV Club 251s.
The only things that I noticed that could use improvement are the front machine gun shield and the MG-42 machine guns. The gun shield looks off and the MG-42 machine guns have limited detailing on the top and bottom of the guns. These items are easily corrected though. I was going to take some comparison pictures but I haven't gotten around to that yet.
