Okay so this is um... tiny. Not small, but tiny. So much so that I've been trying to figure out if its map scale, or maybe battle-force scale but based on its stats, I think the Tracked APC is just that small. Its about the size of my pinky fingernail. Very hard to paint, but adorable. Beside elementals it seems really large, but I don't think elementals were every really to scale with the mechs to begin with. Comparing this to other Battletech tanks is like comparing some of those small European cars to a raised up truck/limos. (There is one where I live, trust me on this.) So there is presence for the size difference I suppose. Now for context on WHY the tracked APC might be so small, I'll compare it to one of the few tanks I have, the Magi. It can hold 6X the people that the Tracked APC can, and the Tracked APC by alpha strike rules holds maybe about 7 people. So yeah, a tiny personnel carrier compared to the Magi witch can transport like 2 platoons. Basically this is a very tiny model, but I don't think its sized incorrectly. You will either hate that its small, or love that it is small. In Alpha strike it has like 2 points of health witch is adorable. I do think it's scale looks better while based, so you might want to put it on one, but I might leave it baseless just for the lulz. It was hard to find this on Master Unit List, but its listed as "Armored Personnel Carrier (Tracked)" not APC.
Pros: One of the cheapest iron wind metals out there and it costs only 6 points in alpha strike. Easy to assemble, only two parts.
Cons: Small, hard to paint if you're not the best at small details. If you want to buy a handful you're looking at like a $30.00 shipping charge for an order that's worth like $6. You might lose it. Its tiny.
