4DPuzzleModel

4DPuzzleModel is a manufacturer from China. (Maybe the same manufacturer as 4DModel)
- The military vehicles are announced as models in the 1/72 scale.
- Those models looks much better then the tanks from 4DModel
- Or the models are correct 1/72 is me unknown

- You can found the models on Internet and E-Bay. - (low priced)

Conclusion:
If the scale is acceptable, the models are possible acceptable for starters and modellers with experience to scratch.

Information from Alexander Terekhov

The quality of the 4D kits is quite average for our time - the relief details on the castings of the hull and turret, as well as small details, have slightly blurred edges. The plastic is shiny, although quite durable and easy to process. There are no decals in the kits. In general, the quality of the kits of this company roughly corresponds to the "MRAP Coguar" model

The sets of the company "Red Star / XF", on the contrary, in my opinion are quite good - I would say that this is the "S-model" which abandoned most of the small details for the sake of ease of assembly. The quality of casting sets of this company is much higher and the edges of even small parts are clear, although in places you can notice hollows or other plastic defects on the parts. The quality of plastic is also better. The kits are equipped with decals with a fairly clear texture, but they are covered with a very thick layer of shiny varnish, which spoils their appearance.
The overall dimensions of the models of both companies are quite consistent with the prototypes in 1/72 scale. Interestingly, both companies produce a model of the same tank (ZBL-09 Snow Leopard IFV), which allows you to compare their quality more clearly. At the same time, the dimensions of the cases of both models, as well as the relief on their upper halves, are exactly identical (apparently both companies used the same 3D model), however, as mentioned above, the casting quality of the company "Red Star / XF" is much better. Overall, in my opinion, kits both firms are quite suitable for wargamers and novice modelers, for which ease of Assembly more important compared to the number of copies per cell, and for modelers like me, collecting a model of a "for fun", they are also quite suitable - well, if only to tweak and Refine some the most notable of their shortcomings -- (note Alexander Terekhov)

Built models

In all four kitts, only the halves of the hulls and turrets fit together normally, while some of the small parts either have any casting defects or do not fit well into their seats, which is why they need to be adjusted. In general, after assembling the kits, my opinion about them remained the same - they are suitable primarily for wargames and young modelers. More experienced modelers will have to spend some effort to bring these models to an acceptable level. At the same time, if there is no other alternative in the case of the tracked AIFV model, then in the case of wheeled armored vehicles of the Snow Leopard series, there is an alternative branch of models of the same vehicles from the Dragon company, similarly simplified assembly, but with a much better quality casting.

Note Alexander Terekhov - Cougar 6x6 MRAP from the Chinese company "4D Puzzle Model"

I purchased it on the AliExpress trading platform (I don't know how well it is known in your country, but in our region Russia - Western Siberia, the district of the city of Novosibirsk, it is quite popular due to fairly low prices and short delivery time)
I do not have drawings of this vehicle, but recalculating the dimensions of the model relative to the dimensions of the real vehicle specified in the corporate advertising brochure "General Dynamics" gives a scale of approximately 1/70 in length and 1/73 in width, but visually distortions of the proportions are invisible in my opinion
In terms of its quality and detail, the set, in my opinion, is similar to the Hasegawa sets - simple to assemble, but with a fairly good casting quality and good detail, in which there are no too small or thin details, working with which has some difficulties. There are no decals in the set, but there is a prefabricated transparent box for storing the model

The box and instructions are very small, Box - 110 x 80 x 30 mm, Instructions - 100 x 123 mm, The detailing is quite primitive, and the casting is sloppy - note Alexander Terekhov

(Comments Alan Selby) - The quality of the Truck version (Kit 1092) is pretty good, the plastic is quite hard and has only a few sink marks (on the front bumper) so 4D Models have improved a lot from their earlier models. I bought these from 4D model's store on Aliexpress (£4.04 each for the trucks and £8.83 each for the transporter) There was no outer box, they were just put in clear plastic bags, for shipment they were bundled up in a bubble wrap football for transport, luckily all the kits were undamaged... phew!!
The other kit (kit 1093) is made of the same hard plastic as the truck version. I have seen some people say that the transporter trailer bed was warped on their kits, I have two and both trailers are perfectly moulded with no distortion.
