Nothing deflates a feared machine faster than this treatment. Well-known tanks of both sides arrive with hulls cropped short and turrets blown up out of proportion, looking like the cast of an animated series, and yet the tracks, road wheels and armament are still properly moulded parts you have to build.
Low part counts mean a quick assembly with no complicated camouflage to plan, so these work for children and equally for armour modellers who want a break from a 1:35 project that has stalled on its running gear.
Shortened armour belongs to the egg models and cute model kits branch, alongside egg aeroplanes and miniature crews. If the caricature turns into a real interest in tanks, military vehicle model kits are where that goes next, and a few shades of model paint are all it takes to make either version look finished.
