Thanks for watching Gary !

It's one of the most detailed kit I've built.
Like a Dragon Premium but with a good instruction sheet

Here's my slow progress, seats



and a comparison shot with it's Russian friend, Meng's Tiger

You should go ahead and finish the kit with the seats that you have. You can always put Live Resin seats in a future project.

Talk about some tiny pedal lnkages would stink to break one of them . Try not to break em looks good so far I supposedly bought 4 tamiya humvee kits on ebay for around 30 bucks. Better come with four of em. I'll see how they (or maybe it) compares with this kit. Hopefully I'll then also be able to buy either this kit or the Meng tiger

Gary, I'm also doing Meng's Tiger ( check BigCatsIII Campaign thread), I recommend both kits, Meng's detail and fitting is perfect, no problems, no flaws.
But Bronco's M1114 is more detailed, maybe over detailed for parts that won't be seen.
