Hi. Saw this kit at the local hobby store today and something about it just sort of caught my eye. Was wondering if anybody out there has built this kit and what they think about it and if it's a good OOTB build just for something different to do than the usual panzers. Know that Tamiya is excellent on their detailing and all, but just curious.
Thanks and take care, sgirty

I actually just built the kit and i thought it had excellent detail. I built mine OOTB, there is alot of extras to put on the outside. I might actually buy a few more so that I can do all of the variations it includes. it is worth it I think, although, you might just want to buy the M2A2 bradley and just add the new morern accesories, it may be cheaper, there is only one new sprue for the ODS version. Hope this helps.
