Great review. The more I see of this kit, the more I want it. I think I may wait for the version w/the 37mm AT gun though....If I can wait that long!!

Tom, thanks for getting this posted.
Gino, thanks for the comments. I'm about half way through the build. There are some slight fit issues, but nothing major. It wouldn't hurt to have one more kit in the stash.

Definitely gonna have to pick up one of these, especially since my 1942 GPW is only a few months younger than the one on the box.
