M41A3 Walker Bulldog
Part 1:35 Etched Set P35-070, P35-072
Review by Terry Ashley
The quality of the etching is first class, as good as anything you will find
today. There are many very small parts and some with multiple parts to fit
together such as tool clips, hinges and latches reminiscent of ABER sets.
Larger parts consist of the US style tool racks, head light guards, jerry can
holders, fender tool box tops as well as many small tool box latches, tie
downs and fittings as mentioned above.
The set for the AFV Club kit also includes the large machine gun shield fitted
to some M41s in Vietnam.
There is just too many parts to mention them all therefore I have included scans of the instruction sheets to give an idea of the parts included.

(Images will open in a new window, close image window to return
to review).
The instruction sheets themselves have many small diagrams showing the parts locations as well as drawings for the multi-part assemblies. Some of these are small and not that clear and careful study will be needed to determine where the parts go.
Overall these update sets will add many fine details to the target kits and will keep you busy for a while with the number of small parts.
