Renault
VAB 4x4 APC |
Includes
some undercarriage detail as opposed to models cast in
open-faced molds. There was a small mold line around the
model at its midsection. The nose of the vehicle needs a
bit of cleaning up. The resin quality is excellent, but
there was a bit of mudding on the right-side storage bin
and in the left rear wheel well. The wheels, details and
the rivets on the hubs are excellent. ADV also provides
instructions to use plastic rod to add missing suspension
struts, etc. - C. Scruton |

6x6 APC |
The
VAB 6x6 is even better than its 4x4 stablemate. The kit
employs a slightly different hull to the 4x4 (the large
central storage bins of the 4x4 are deleted to make way
for the extra axle on the 6x6). The casting of this hull
is even better than the 4x4. The wheels and smaller
details are excellent and instructions are provided for
superdetailing. - C. Scruton |

The
hull was cast in open-faced mold. Although this means
unmarred centerline surfaces, there is a large mold plug
to clean up and some mudding in the wheel wells; my kit
had a fair number of bubbles on the lower hull. The hull
details are fantastic - the hatches, grilles, and engine
louvres are delicate and finely detailed. The turret,
gun, and wheels are beautiful - the latter have the
rocker arms molded integrally with the tires/hubs. - C. Scruton |

The
detailing of the hull casting is unbelievably good.
However, there are problems: (1) the hull had a mold
shift (about 0.5+mm); also, because they elected to tap
into the front of the vehicle, the tap has destroyed some
of the detail (headlights, etc.). (2) The suspension is too
detailed - ADV includes tiny springs and other fine
suspension parts which might lead to weak connections.
(3) the rivet details on the wheel hubs aren't as nice as
the other models. Having said that, the hull detailing
alone makes this model worth the effort. - C. Scruton This kit has been updated (3 June
2001): The new tooling has an enhanced hull with more
details and is now provided with the 7062 AA F1 machine
gun.

The
hatch, grille, louvre, and tools are top-notch. The
turret is also quite fine, although it did shift ever so
slightly. The gun and separate details are up to ADV's
high standards. All the wheels, rocker arms, etc., are
cast separately, including a full set of fantastically
detailed track sections. ADV even cast the individual
links that go 'round the drive sprocket and return roller
right on those parts, so we need only worry about gluing
straight lengths. - C. Scruton |

The
hull is cast in a multipart mold, with a prominent tap
gated into the nose (this is going to require significant
care in cleanup); The rocker arms and some nicely
detailed suspension springs are cast right on the hull.
The non-slip surface on the front and side fenders and on
the turret is nice, but perhaps a bit overdone in this
scale. The gun, wheels, and cast details are all up to
ADV's high standards. - C. Scruton |
