Thanks!

Thanks for putting that one, Darren!
Just a note for everyone - I reported about manual error to Hobby Fan and they will correct that issue.

Very interesting kit. I have somewhere one or two pics of the real thing. Any idea where it can be found? I've checked HE and LM without luck.

Pawel, I've seen them on Ebay for around 55-60 USD or you can preorder it from HLJ.com

Given the stuff in AFV Club's catalog, this label could produce some *very* interesting kits. I look forward to seeing what they release in the future.

I found more errors in the instructions, AFV club got my comments and they will update it. As soon as I have the correct instruction I will upload it.

I recall seeing one of these on TV back in the 90s. Neat model!

Roman,
Thanks so much for the review. This looks like an interesting kit. Here is another kit from Ding Hao on the same M3A3 chassis.
