I just ordered this kit, has anyone laid eyes on the actual product? I had seen the ExtraTech Achilles, but bypassed it hoping for a US variant tank destroyer. Everything I've read so far tells me it is pretty good: http://home.wanadoo.nl/henkofholland/Extratech.htm

Rob, the only review that I've seen that comes close to their M36 is here: ExtraTECH M10

Thanks for the two links....There is some really interesting stuff on these pages. What about price, I can't seem to find any price lists at all.... This 1/72nd stuff is really getting me hooked. Perhaps we need some kind of 1/72nd resource? Websites, producers reviews etc. If someone was to start the ball rolling I would be delighted to tie it all together. Previously I had almost forgotten about 1/72nd as a viable scale, now I seem to see more and more info....Jim

I ordered mine from Squadron for $23, but have seen this series in the local hobby shops for $30ish. It is about the same price as say a Revell 1/72 kit with an Eduard photoetch set. I just wanted to check out this series and the M36 thrilled me more than the M10 or Achilles.
