Maybe I am pre-mature in my concern, but teh MAZ sets seem to miss the one place that the Trumpeter kit fell flat...the cab interior. Now, there is no photo of the cab, so I cannot be sure of this, but the rear wall of the cab in the long-shot photo does not show any detail change that should be there.

Also, a lot of the replacement details, especially on the trailer, seem unnecessary. The drop-ramps on the real trailer are made with fairly thick metal that is captured well in plastic. The Trumpeter PE for the center section guides also capture the look of the real item. And the raised traction bars are replaced...is that just busy work in the Voyager set?

I am not sure what to think yet...we shall see. (Fingers steepled under chin...)

That said, it is nice to see that at least ONE PE company came out with a set for the MAZ...
