Alan thank you for writing this review and I am glad that I appear to have sent this model to a good home. Please could you provide some close up shots of some of the detailed parts in the kit as I know items such as the indivdually moulded grenades and their racks in the turret caught my attention as just one area of a very complex model that should build into a stunning model when complete. There were of course a lot of areas that caught my eye such as the complete engine and very detailed chassis. I hope to watch this model start to take shape some time in the near future as i know you are able.

Al, if this is anything like the Mk IV then it should build into a real beauty. As you said, it won't be a quick build...I've seen quite a few of the Bronco Humbers started, not so many completed

The weapons sprue should be Fb if you want to check your instructions parts layout to see if it's included in this one. I'm sure at least a few of the sprues are shared with the previous releases, so some of the detail parts probably can be found in the Mk IV review.

Hi James,

No weapons sprue in this one. I have their limber to build for the 25pdr and a couple of other projects I'm working on so it will be awhile before I get started on this one. Should be fun when I get to it though.

Hi Darren,

Some additional pics as requested, see bottom on the review.

Cheers

Al

Great review Al... You sold me on this one .. Well that and the fact that this was one of my first models I ever built (well the Matchbox 1/76 scale one) when I was a kid.

Good job
Rick
Now how do I get stuff sent to me to review???

Hi Rick,

I hope it builds as good as it looks.
