There was a Czech company that did that vehicle in 1/35, I wonder if this is the same kit?

I have bought another item from them, a HMMWV trailer, and it looks pretty rough.

I'll check the name on the box this evening.

Cheers,

Christophe

Hopefully you'll get a better casting than I did. As far as I'm concerned it is a 100% rip off, and recasts of other companies work.

I wish there was an easy way to warn others about Bam Bam and their poor castings and poor service.

I purchased a kit from them that ran me near $300. Biggest mistake regarding purchases I have ever made online.

Simply put, avoid their products.

Unfortunatly I also bought this ATV knock off before I found this warning posting. Same scribbled instructions and bad castings shown by others here. My "kit" had three big rear wheels and one small front. I emailed him about it and Bam-Bam-Dave-the-fireman sent me more replacement wheels. Tire edges do not meet the rims?!?! Obvious cheap diecast toy recasts. This resin will take a lot of scratch building to be useable. Wish I had done a search on here first.

Oh boy, this looks terrible! Dave, I hope you left an appropriate feedback...

I have tried finding his eBay store again, just to see the feedback people gave for this kind of models, but I can't seem to find it. Has eBay suspended the account?

Unfortunately, I can't find his ebay store either. And unfortunately I bought it through his site.I wonder if Walt Disney Studios knows their fire chief is doing copyright infringments.



I smell a impending lawsuit for copyright infringement headed his way

Or, save all the bother and go for the MK Models' Quad bike Grizzly 450 & smt 171 b trailer for 50$US.

Yes, it is more expensive, but you know it it genuine and good quality.

Looking forward to a review, Mario! Thanks! Seems to be quite a few SOF vehicle contenders out there now...have to know which ones are worth the money .
