Hi, everybodie. In the first place a very happy 2004 from Holland to all of you!!
I picked up a new model today at my local hobby-shop, it's a M-10 Duckbill by Academy.
When I first opened the box, I was overwhelmed; lots of sprue's, lots of detail...it looked great.
Now I'm not a rivet counter, but I've simply want to know, Is this kit as good as it looks, or are there some major mistakes which I have to correct, before I have a good model?

Thanx in advance, greetz, and again all the best for this year. John

My Friend-- I think it is a superb kit. The last one I put together was the Tamiya one many years ago. This one is a vast improvement from the gun tube to the road wheels. Should be enjoyable to build.

DW, there is a review of the kit over at Perth Military Modeling that should answer your questions.
I do not currently have it, so I'm unable to give you my assessment.
