Damn. You got me all excited and then I went to PanzerShop and saw 144.00 EUR.

Same thing for me, plus compare the kit built up photos to walkaround pics of the real thing... I would be prepared to make compromises for inaccuracies at say 70 € but not double that, even with Friul tracks included...

Oh my god, i´ve got to get this one although the price is quite hefty.
144 Euros

It's your money, but have you actually compared the kit pics with walkaround photos of the real vehicle?

Yeah, I have to admit to being forced to change my underwear after seeing the price. As for accuracy, it looks close. The thing I object to most are the antenna mounts at the top rear. The kit photos have them straight when they should be angled outwards. I don't know if those are molded to the hull like that or were attached incorrectly by whoever built the kit. Not the angled brackets sitting on the fenders. They should be forward on the fenders so that suggest the builder didn't exactly know how they went (or they broke off during the shot and the photographer just placed them somewhere). The stowage bins on the left side seem to be too high on the hull but again, I don't know if they are molded that way or the builder made a mistake. I don't think I will be shelling out the money to find out. *sigh* Still, I'm glad someone made one.

Sorry to insist but I really do not think the level of detail is in the same league as say Accurate Armour, Cromwell Models or Legend to name but a few. If I saw the buit up model at a competition, I'd say it's a very good scratchbuild but not professional quality.

When you put out a kit nowadays, especially at that price, the advanced modellers who are the target customers expect a lot more!

At that price I wonder if the main hull is a solid chunk of resin.

Seeing this might spur me on to pull out the Marder II hull I've got set aside plus the George Bradford and PSHF drawings and see if I could do better.

Now I thought there were some old rumors of a PBV 302 in resin. That would be more intriguing with some ?FOR possibilities.

Paul

With the closed hatches, it sure looks that way.

Pbv 302! And an Ikv-91!

If anyone might need any pics of the Pvb 301/02 i have loads of them
Exterman as well as internal pics.
