Has anyone built this kit?



It looks wonderfull and I'd like to get it, but I need some input from you guys as the price is... well... you know

BTW, is the vehicle used in current conflict? I think I have seen some pics of it, but I'm not quite sure if it was this particular version.

This is the vehicle curremtly being used in and around the Basra and Umm Qasr areas.
The vehicle is seen to have Browning .50cal and / or GPMG machine guns in different positions.
They also have the IFF panels we have seen discussed here at length, and of course the orange air recognition panels.

Someone on another discussion board said it's an entirely British vehicle and is the Wolf, not the 110 version used by other nations and the U.S. Rangers.

Also note the right-hand steering wheel. I've seen this vehicle used in Serra Leone. I'd like to know about the casting quality of this kit.
