It's really nice to have such rare vehicles in plastic finally. (Other than 1/72 that is.)

Is the kit molded in that brown color?
Isn't that unusual for bronco, they typically go with the light grey plastic.

Only the track links are brown the rest of the plastic is green, the colour shift altered the look of the colour in the photographs when they went through photo shop.

I generally hate reviving threads but since it links back to the review it feels appropriate. To say this is way beyond the Trumpeter version is almost an understatement and I bloody well love the Trumpeter KV series and often recommend them as excellent models and great for beginners due to their simplicity and fine details. This kit is way better. I'm about half way through and will submit a build review when I'm done but I'm comfortable saying its excellent in detail and easy to build so far. The casting texture on the turret alone puts this a level above and I'm frankly regretting buying an aftermaket Voyager PE set for it as there is little that will be improved.
Great kit!
