Simply put -WOW! what a box of bitz
An Amtrak with a FULL INTERIOR (excl Engine Pack) but otherwise, it's all there.
The overall standard of moulding is pretty special and the level of detail such that once all the hatches are closed much of it may be lost - won't know fully until it's built.
As for the RRP of £27.99 it kicks Tamiya's offering out of the Stadium - No Contest!
Just viewed it today along with ALL 4 of the M706's (RRP £15.99) (V-100 & V-150)
All have some interior (enough for it to work) and have some very clean lines which should build into excellent model.
The upper/lower hull fit is Sweet!
Just on a visual inspection alone it's for me.
Over to you guys for more info......

Hello Alan, the construction of my `7a1 is coming along very well. I can not confirm the total accuracy of the interior (driver/commanders stations) but the load area looks very convincing. There is a fair bit of clean up required, mainly sharpening up the edges of parts but nothing a sanding stick can`t deal with, it`s not Tamiya, but you do get your monies worth, including individual track links with seperate track pads.
All i can say is, Hobbyboss, keep `em coming!!!
David.

I've just finished building the M706/V100 for a campaign build and I've got to say it was a lovely kit to put together I built it straight out of the box and only added a longer aerial and swapped the .30 cal barrels for some out of an Academy M113 because the detailing was better.
Cheers

You should be able to find this in most shops around the country now as we have been frantically shipping them out over the last two weeks.
Have a look at our stockists on Creative Models and hopefully you will find somebody close to you or alternatively you can order them directly from us.
