Don't know anything about the kit other than it is one I have wanted. Others will know lots more and will answer any question you may have. One of these is used in "A Bridge Too Far", first German counterattack at Arnhem bridge.

Hi Rob!

Unfortunately, I don't have any knowledge of your kit.

However, I wanted to say welcome to Armorama!

Post some pictures as you progress with your project.
