Veicolo Corazzato da Ricognizione Britannico F.V. 107 CVR(T) Scimitar
Recensione del Modello Airfix in Scala 1:76
Il modello del Scimitar di Airfix has been built almost straight from the box, only antennas e rear lights were added. The model was sprayed Gunze H330 Dark Green (Colore Standard Britannico 381C/641), the equivalent of Humbrol 75. The black disruptive stripes were painted on by hand. The hull e chassis are fun to build, but the tracks were rather difficult to fit. The soft plastic material is very thick, relatively stiff, e too short to fit around the running gear. As a result, the due rear sprockets were pulled out of place, ed one sprocket broke off eventually. The only remedy was to use hot glue to hold the track in place. Hard plastic track links like those used on ESCI e new Revell models would have been much easier to work with.

Valutazione
- Scale model con good detail. The model depicts an early Scorpion o Scimitar con folded flotation device e partial track skirts which are not seen on later veicoli. The bolted engine deck was hinged on later models, ed additional stowage bins were added at the hull sides e rear.
- Compatibile con Matchbox, Crusader Models, JB Models, Milicast e Cromwell Models.
- The soft plastic tracks are too thick e they do not fit between the hull e the drive sprocket. One way to fix this problem is to carve out the inside of the front fenders.
- The tracks are slightly too short to fit over the entire running gear. As a result, the rear sprockets will be pulled out of place e they may snap off. The soft plastic material cannot be glued con any of the common modelling adhesives, therefore we used hot glue to hold the track in place.
- Noticeable flash on roadwheels needs to be removed prudentamente to ensure a good fit.
- Mould ejection marks on the right side of the hull ed on the reverse side of the left-hand stowage bin need to be trimmed off.
- Tools ed other cast-on oggetti are not very well defined.
- Rearview mirrors, brake lights e turn indicators are not included in the kit. The lights may be scratchbuilt to improve the model.
- No crew soldatini included in the kit.
The Scimitar is the more useful modello da wargame delle due variante del F.V. 100 included in this kit, ed it remains in servizio con l’armata britannica today. The 30 mm Rarden gun will defeat trasporti truppe corazzati nemici e molti veicoli corazzati da ricognizione the Scimitar may encounter on patrol.
