I have to say that Duster looks great to me, can't wait to get my hands on several of them!

Agreed, the Duster is really cool.

Whatever Dorchester you buy (SKP has a new styrene version with resin & PE), here is where you can learn how to finish it.

Haha, you're killing me Bill!

Looking forward to seeing both kits, as well as the AFV Club Duster. Thanks for the update Jim!

Hey, just flogging the sausages, Jeremy, LOL.

It's nice to see the companies & individuals who supply us with review samples get extra mileage from them. The Dorchester was just a scratch-built option prior to these announcements, so suddenly this Step-By-Step issue looks positively clairvoyant.

Already have a Duster, but this one looks great. Something to add to my stash. As if I really need another model. Sheeesh !

I have been waiting for that "Duster" for some time. Hue city street scene here I come! University complex & Cirque Sprtif on the South Side of perfume river x north of Phu Cam Canal......Bravo6 would be a perfect fit.

Add the Duster to the new Chaffee & a scratchbuilt M19 is no longer a terribly daunting proposition...

The Dorchester is awesome...a lot of diorama possibilities for both Allied and Axis forces. The Duster looks great also...it doesn't interest me as much the Dorchester. Is it just me, or does it look like the sculpting is better on these Marines than on previous Hobby Fan products? I've always thought the Hobby Fan stuff was a little on the chunky side. Just my $.02 worth.
