Anyone have expereince with the Hobby Craft BMP-1?? I just bought at Great models (HCC6009) for $12 in 1.35th, and wondered how good it was (or wasn't).

BTW - it is worth noting that if you go there and do the search funstion, they are having a giat sale, so configure the search to show only items in stock, and have "sale" in the keyword, and you will find some deals!

Gary has this right. And they actually made the DML kit worse because they added motorization apperatus which really ruined the running gear setup and they give you a WAY oversized Sprocket. Sorry, but it is a bad kit. It woudl be good to practice on though, so not a total loss.

Wish I had a better report for you.
