DODGE T223-WC63 6x6 Truck

(Conversion set)

By Faustnik.

Manufacturer: AL.BY Miniatures (Kit #707)

Contents:

- 6 Parts moulded in yellow Resin of high Quality

- Packed in a transparent box, typical of AL.BY offerings.

- A sheet of assembly instructions and conversion notes

- No decals or painting information

Evaluation:

For this Kit you have to own a ESCI Dodge Weapons Carrier, as this Kit converts it to the 6x6 configuration.

High quality of castings and details, this is one of the best US item from AL.BY's range, helped of course by the excellent ESCI kit (in my humble opinion the best of their series).

As on the DODGE T214-WC54 Ambulance, this kit corrects most of the "faults of the donor" specially the "high suspension".

The assembly sheet gives orientations of the steps for the conversion. Don't worry, as this is by far one of the smoothed conversion in the market.

As any resin kit, some cleaning of the parts is needed. In "mine" specimen shown there were no air bubbles and no warping of parts is visible.

Overall:

Another excellent item for our "allied cause" as this could be issued in OD livery, Free French and even Soviet Union colours, not speaking of post war usage.

As far as scale is concern, using the available data the overall dimensions are exactly at 1:72.

I will thank you to Artur RAMOS, who lends his kit.

Highly Recommended
