hello, I'm currently building a Bronco Yw 531c, I heve read that export version had different engine and no fireport on left side front, I have a picture of an Albanian version , indeed not having the port, but the kit has a port, so are they different versions, or is that the only difference?

first, thanks Olivier for the link,I'm rather looking for some interior pics,it would be a shame not to leave some hatches open..
I found some pics on the interior, the benches can be seen and I guess the fuell tanks , but the commanders seat ? drivers seat? floor?
Anyone have some plans of the interior,or pics?
thanks

guess I'll have to eyeball the thing, really amazed there are not many people making these little APC's, they are NOT bad at all, lot's of smaal but very well moulded parts
guess I'll have to buy some more (if the prices are right

)

yup Frenchy, I've done my internet/forum hunt for some details, got the link (guess from a previous post of you?) but there isn't much to see, how far do the fuell cels an the sides run, has the gunner a seat, or does he stand, how deep are the bench seats, a lot of Q's, but I'll guess I just gonna have to close it up...
