I dont think these have been posted yet, but Korean model site MMZONE has done a feature with the sprue shots of the soon to be released Academy kit, based on these pics it seem Academy have upped their game a bit. The quality looks very good!

Sweet, i have wanted a nice kit of the cool vehicle for some time now and can't wait to get my hands on one! Wonder how long before someone puts out metal barrels for the recoiless rifles?

I'll definitely try to create my very first mini-diorama on this one...
By the way, I've seen somewhere that its price would be $30.

Rob thanks for posting the LINK. Looks good! I think i'll buy a couple.
I reckon aftermarket companies could have a field day with this kit though. Should look sweet built up none the less.

From what i read in the site (I can read Korean), the reviewer only had good things to say about it. Supposedly, the rubber tracks are a good representation of the real one b/c the track was mostly made of rubber. The review also noted that figure details are much better than what Academy has produced in the past.
