I wasn't aware Roden had a 1/35 bus available, must get one of those.

The Saladin set will definitely improve most of the issues, unfortunately the turret hatch interiors are still not quite correct - the hatch should have an interior "lip" around the edge, not just the head pad. The set is still worth getting, and at least you will not have to correct the entire hatch, just add the lip to the resin part.

Direct from MR Modelbau, with shipping came to $52 CDN, but it would be a little cheaper for you American chaps....

So still no exhaust manifold to connect the exhaust to the engine. Pretty big ommission as it is quite visible under the fender. I'll wait and see who else offers updates and to see if they are a bit more addressing of the kits ommissions

Useful indeed but the 'Pick head' is still a flat item and the Browning mounting is far from correct.. I will get one, down the line as my Saladin is almost finished.
