I am looking at building this as the load for my M1070.
Has anyone any info on the Real Models conversion kit, such as box content and what it is like to build?
Also, could this be depicted in the 3 tone colour scheme or just desert sand?

This conversion set is very old. Therefore, its quality is not what today's demands.

Thank you for that, but it is still useable or would I be wasting my money?
I am not the superdetailing type as such, but would like to do this.

The Legend kit is much nicer. I prefer it over the older RM kit.
