This is the new conversion by Legend that updates a Tamiya kit into the Iraqi T-55 Enigma seen in the first Gulf War.

I would love to do a build blog on that one if possible, I could also compare it with the Verlinden Enigma set I have....

It would be great to see how the conversion fits to Tamiya kit... comparison with other Enigma conversions is deifintely a bonus for this kind of review. You have my vote.

Good reviews on those Legend sets (I might tackle these someday..)

anyway to answer your question at the end of the review, I prefer the boxart with the components, resion and/or PE , you kinda know what your paying for, it might not be appealing but you won't get fooled.
Imagine a T-55 with all the bells n' whistles , stowage, fenders, fuel lines, etc... fully weathered and then you open your $80 resin set with 2 or 3 resin pieces

I agree, photos of unfinished models for me. I like to know what I'm looking at before I buy it, especially if my only outlet is online.
