Thanks!

A little comment on your review;

The tarp on the side of the truck is included in the kit. It is that white piece of paper. This is not for protecting the decals.

How large of a vehicle does this kit make?

Jeff, not my review, but I did insert the bit about it being twenty feet long, so 20' x 12" / 35 = approx 6.86 inches.

I have the original Cromwell Armour resin kit and I can't wait to compare the two.

My local HobbyTown USA has it on the shelf and it will be a fine companion to my 'Resicast' Montgomery's caravan.

A long awaited and welcome addition to the range of WW2 vehicles....

I opened my model yesterday and gave it the once over and I can honestly say it is very well done, even the box is first class. The teeny tiny eye bolts are amazingly well done for plastic injection and much of the bodywork to scale thickness. Well done them on the maps.

Only one gripe and it IS a 'nit pick', they should have done the seatbelts in brass photoetch and not moulded them on the surface of the cushions.

They have nice etched parts fret and could easily have encorporated them as part of it.

Yes some are going to ask for Resin aftermarket tires (wheels) but the ones supplied are really well done.

A couple of the local AMPS chapter took a look at it yesterday evening and based on the short time they had they all agree that it is a very well done kit...

Now where is Monty and his merry men to go with it?

Keith.

Very happy to see this one arrive, fine looking kit.
