DEF Model has released an interesting item for all those interested in Republic of Korea’s armoured vehicles, this time around the M47 in 1/35th scale gets the conversion treatment.

I really like the look of this set. Have been thinking of doing a ROK M47 for a long time. For those not into ROK vehicles one can add that the DEF web page also shows these sets as upcoming kits (no date given):
DM35012 U.S AN/VSS-1 Search Light set
DM35013 U.S AN/VSS-3 Search Light set
DM35014 M47 Patton tank NATO Detail up set (for Italeri 1/35)

One thing might be added thought:
Their M60 detail set as well as their M60A1/A3 turret set seem to suffer from shrinkage. ( http://www.network54.com/Forum/47209/message/1321910944/Anyone+else+got+the+DEF+Models+M60A1-A3+update+kit- ). I emailed DEF last week regarding this and hopefully I'll recieve an reply one of these days. Until I'm reassured regarding their quality control I'll wait before buying any more of their sets.

Cheers,
