Hawk Wargames Dropzone Commander 2-player Starter Set - Assembly UCM Bear APC

Continuing my review of the Hawk Wargames Dropzone Commander 2-player Starter Set, I will start my assembly of the armies.

Today, I start with the Bear APC (Armoured Personnel Carrier). The starter army only needs 2 Bear APCs but due to the sprue layout, you will get one extra Bear APC. Now the plastics used were real easy to work with. In comparison to other plastics, when you clip the parts off their sprue, this plastic comes off clean and without any difficulty. The other companies usually result in some sort of "pinch" or deformity when clipping them off the sprue. (Note: as a bonus, no mold lines!)

 

The instructions were easy to read and understand.
 
 
This vehicle comes in 6 parts - main body, under chassis, right and left wheels, rear door and gun turret. Simple enough and upon dry fitting, I found that the model held together even without superglue.
 

The simple assembly compliments the starter set so you can go from box to table top in such a short amount of time.
