Hi there,

great idea, finally an update set for Italeri`s M923 kit. All we need now is another set correcting the too narrow fenders and the too small cargo area.

Cheers
Hans-Hermann

Legend produces some really nice modern vehicle conversion sets and I have quite a few of them in my stash. I always check the pictures at Legend website which are great as they clearly note what exactly one gets in the conversion... You see a original model in one color and Legend resin pieces in other color. Very nice... so far.

But I don't get the new idea of using pink resin for denoting conversion pieces. It looks extremely weird. Of all the colors the guys at Legend could use, they thought Barbie-pink was the best? Really? I hope they would reconsider this for their future sets.

I guess with the pink its very easy to see whats actually included, but at the same time the colour means its also possible to pick out the quality of the moulding and details that are included. Other colours may hide or make it difficult to observe the quality, cream resin for example is generally pretty impossible to photograph well and show the detail.

The releases look absolutely stunning. The M923 stuff is an absolute must and I hope that a CPK kit is in the works as well. Excellent stuff Legends!

They look very nicely detailed. The pink does make it easy to identify the parts and see particulars. The set for the M24 might be just what I need.

I find it funny that the most talked about thing is the color pink. I guess nobody pays attention when Professional Athelete's wear pink to support Breast Cancer Awareness. I also find it funny that Legend decided to stick the mine roller on a M923 instead of making it fit an MRAP.
