The Land Rover crew looks nice... it's also good to see they did a replacement for the kit's .50 cal.

Driver looks a bit stiff, but still a nice set. Wish they would have added a new GPMG as well along with the storage basket on the hood--that would have addressed the major flaws in the kit, except maybe for a new tyre set. The inclusion of crew L85s is great ,too. I was disappointed that the most important equipment on this Land Rover variant, the weapons, were the kits' weakest points. The vehicle itself has been great fun to build! Just hope the cost of this set is not too much; might have to get at least one set of these. I'm sure they will come out with a tyre set in the near future; strange they did not release one first.

I think the combo of this set and the black dog set would work well? The black dog set has the basket and the new style wheels. I have to agree the weapons were a weak link on this kit, the rifles are not great there are some small mistakes on them like the cocking handle is way to big! as for the gpmg it is I think it is the first time I have seen on with the carrying handle in the correct position.

I like that some figures have finally been released for this kit, and I agree the gun is a welcome bonus for sure, but these guys seem a bit stiff like they are on display i a museum or something. I would be happy if the standing guy was in the passenger's seat and the figures were all sculpted to look like they were driving the vehicle around instead of standing for a photo op.
I'm still interested, but will have to try my hand at some conversion to fine tune these guys a bit.

Is there a price on these.Their site is 90% Korean and don't have a tab for English.
The Black Dog set with accessories and figures seems very nice,but very pricey at twice the cost of the actual kit.
