Nice review. I really like this kit. Are you going to do a build?

Very nice review James and hardly all that brief. You hit all the important points and the images are quite informative in their own right. While I usually indulge in smaller scale, I am always open to anything of interest and armored cars are one of such areas.

Looks like a good kit, but certainly a good review. Like the YouTube videos, too.

Thanks guys.
Russ, I'm definitely doing a build of this one...but it's going to take awhile, a very long while

Hi James,
Thanks for the review. Cool looking kit, I'm going to wait on the ordinary version though.
Enjoy the build.

Good review James, though like Al I'll go for the ordinary version.
I like the way the narrator on the video describes the besa machine guns as "medium and big"

Thanks James. For the guys waiting for the 'ordinary version', I'm wondering why? It looks like all the clear parts are duplicated in opaque plastic? Plus, this version can be found for less $ than the one without the clear sprues.
