Guys I just bought the Lindberg 1:35 scale M-46 Patton Tank and it does not look too promising.
I noticed the wheels don't look right.
Has anyone done this kit, if so do you have any tips or reviews
Thanks

Ouch - that is a really old kit originally from the '50s or '60s. It is very poorly detailed and not really accurate at all. I think it is actually 1/32 too. If you are looking for a good M46, get the Dragon one.

I've done a scout car from Lindberg. My dad even remembers them from when he built models(about 40 years ago). I am surprised that they are still in business. Very poor detailing. The scout car looks more like a toy. The undercarriage is non-existent. Avoid Lindberg at all cost.

And that's exactly what they were, even at the time (50s) .The scout car looks more like a toy.

Well, avoid if you ae looking for an accurate model of anything, as that was not their intent at the time. If you want an easy kit for a younger modeller as an introduction, then Lindberg kits can be quite worthwhile. But certainly don't pay much for them, they're not worth much, for sure.Avoid Lindberg at all cost.
