Not bad, the antennas different colors.
My best choice, Poland vehicle 3 colour camouflage and original color artillery section.

Yes, whole interior is visible through upper hatch and big front windows; it's hard to make a picture of it without full profesional camera and lenses
i've shot it during building:





more pictures from building log you can find on my website- http://kfs-miniatures.com

The interior looks beautiful!
Some images of the interior were displayed on page 2. But painted with colors, it looks better than before.

Juhász - you are a never-ending fountain of incredibly useful information and resources - I nominate you for an Armorama medal!

And Pawel - the interior is incredible - you are truly an artist!

I apologize but I waited for photoetched parts.
I have and all is ready.


2-4 days I will send information for regular customers.
Pawel

But is bad news. There will be no decals included in the kit. Man who undertook to make them withdrew from commision.

I GOT MY KITS! Hooray!

The kits are marvels of resin casting engineering. I cannot believe how well designed they are for resin kits. You have done a great job Pawel.

I am going to do a review...can anyone point me to accurate measurements or, if possible, a actual accurate set of line drawings?

Here is my finished Tankmania SA-8 Gecko. I have painted it in Iraqi colours. It is a truly fantastic kit - a very large model and awesome value for money. It goes together very well and is incredibly well detailed.

Best regards
