Is the Orange 3-D stuff included in the Airfix kit, or is the Airfix jeep (including trailer??) included in the Orange 3-D kit? The Orange packaging states that an injection molded Jeep in included in their set, so is that the Airfix model?

Wow, sure to appeal to those looking for something ultra fiddly to build... This seems like a nice move for Airfix to get bundled with some cool looking details.

Hi Biggles2, The item is essentially the Airfix kit (as is, including trailer, 75 pack howitzer, etc.) plus the Orange 3D PE set (as is, original packaging, instructions, etc.)
And yes firstcircle, it can be quite fiddly to build, I have to admit
