Perfect timing, it came in today.

First impressions - I'm happy.

I'm not an expert on it so can't comment on that but the bolt on armor looks pretty good (I assume this is the main/only difference between the previous kit, which I don't have).

Here's some large photos of the armor. When I first saw it I thought it was rubber/vinyl but it's just a normal sprue that is molded black for some reason (rest of the kit is tan plastic):

Thanks for the pics. Can I ask where you ordered it from- where ever you bought it, it seems to have arrived fast!

I ordered it from HobbyEasy on the 13th and got it today (and I'm on the east coast of the US). I only selected the standard "air parcel" delivery option (I also ordered the AFV Club 233 along with this kit.)

Just for fun, look at this work with the first kit from Meng Models.

Size of armor panels estimated with photos and the 3D modelling has been required for them.

Very nice work.
