Summary: The package configuration of
LANMO Model AB41 Railway AFV is quite rich, and overall it is good in terms of details. The theme is very unique. Its obscure theme has also become a popular track in the middle of this year.
LANMO Model AB41 Italian Ferroviaria railway armoured car was previewed in June this year. It is a derivative variant built upon the brand’s existing LANMO Model AB41 armoured reconnaissance car kit.
The manufacturer has tooled an entirely new sprue dedicated to railway road wheel parts. Beyond that, the Lanmo Model AB41 kit also includes a section of railway track plus telegraph poles, making it ideal for building small diorama scenes.
Kit Contents & Sprues of Lanmo Model AB41 Railway Armored Car MM35012
This kit boasts a well-rounded parts lineup: yellow plastic sprues, LANMO’s exclusive rain-camouflage decal sheets styled after Dragon Model’s black-card decals, brand-new black sprues for railway tracks and telegraph poles, plus a full-colour instruction manual, totalling 12 sprues in all.
Sprue A: General hull structural parts
Sprue B: Auxiliary body components
Sprue C (2 sprues): Wheel assemblies and functional suspension components
Sprue E: Complete turret assembly
Fine rivet detailing is integrated directly onto the sprues. Interior turret details and inner hatch details are moulded in place; minor ejector pin marks will require clean-up work.
Sprue H: Split-mould chassis base
Sprue L (2 sprues): Wheel sets engineered with a segmented moulding design similar to Dragon Model’s 8-wheeled AFV kits
Black-moulded rubber tires feature clear Pirelli branding printed on sidewalls.
Sprue T: Clear transparent parts for headlights and periscopes
Separate Sprue X contains the included railway track segment, matched with accompanying telegraph pole pieces.
The railway ties feature intricate engraved wood grain textures, with unique grain patterns sculpted on every single tie plus chipped edge wear details for exceptional realism.
Two all-new Sprue F sprues hold custom railway running wheels and matching hardware exclusive to this rail variant.
Additionally, aftermarket 3D-printed tire upgrade sets are sold separately: all-terrain off-road tires on the left, desert terrain tires on the right.
Full Unboxing Summary
