Hello Im Jessica.....DH764 or Andy is my Dad and I wanted to make the tank with daddy because he is not 8 years old ( Neither are you ! Jessica is 7 but will be 8 in July )This is me with the big box .... ![]() I wanted to build it but Dad said I had to wait until he took some photos of it Heres whats in the box then... ![]() Instructions set out over 15 stages. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Tools needed for the build....a pair of side cutters and two snding sticks to clean up the cut areas. I cut off the parts with the cutter and then daddy helped me clean the part that I cut off. I then crossed out what part i cut off on the paper (instructions ) so i know what part of the tank i am doing. this is me doing the wheels daddy doesnt like lots of wheels. I knew there was a reason I dont normally do Tanks !! ![]() The only part of the wheel assembly we struggled on was the pair of upper roller wheels....they did not have as firm a fit as the other wheels and will come off quite easily. ![]() In no time at all , even after putting 21 wheels on ....we had this.... I liked putting the rubber bands on the wheels I liked making the tank with Dad and I want another one . Must admit to enjoying building this with Jessica Here is me and the Tank . ![]() I think the build took around an hour to make but was very enjoyable ......fit of the parts was very good except for those runner wheels ( I dont know the correct name ! ) and the gun barrel is also quite a loose fit .....a bit of glue could be needed to stop things falling off. The kit has a recommended for age 8+ but Jessica managed quite well and only a couple of times did I need to help her . I would 100% recommended this kit to all ages ......it might even tempt me to do a "proper" 1/35th one ! Here are a few photos of the completed build. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Many thanks to Revell for the review kit Available from: www.revell.eu Revell model kits are available from all good toy and model retailers.

Outstanding work Jessica. Looks like the future of modelling is in good hands. Steve P.s. They are called return rollers.
