Thanks!

Nice

Thank you! Great review, as always!

Personally, I'd still go for the Takom despite the short-comings just because of the available color schemes and markings.

first tamiya,later takom,and right now meng.

Wrong again, mate. First Heller, then Tamiya. I implore you to use a search engine before posting, dude, because your responses are leading me to believe you are actually some kind of bad AI program.

I too wondered if Ulix is an escaped Spam Bot! I've never seen so many inane comments

Gents I am aware he can be annoying, but he is not doing anything against site rules. If he is that much of a distraction you could always use the 'HIDE USER' tab. If I am honest I think this is a youngster who struggles with the language.

I have the same feeling... Somebody that struggles with the language but is eager to participate in discussions.

Problems with language I can understand as I work at a school with a large percentage of Hispanics who know little or no English. This is something else entirely.

I assumed it was someone who shared the page with a comment via some unknown system that autoposted the same comment to his forumuser here. It would fit as the comment is usually a quick summary of the theme of the review/news-item.

What ever the reason, be it language-block or a rogue AI with a penchant for kitbuilding, it's hardly a problem as long a no rules are broken, is there?

No, not a problem, really. If he's fine with presenting himself as a crazy person it's all good.

Not sure what sprocket hub this Gepard has but looks 15 bolt to me https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/c/cb/Gepard_1a2_sideview.jpg

As I recall, late Gepards had lateral FIM-92 Stinger mounts on the sides of the 35mm Oerlikon pods, smilar to but smaller than the big SA-19 system on the Grison. None here? Anyone in AM? Buehler?

The Stinger equipped Gepard A2 was only a test vehicle /demon-strator developed by KMW. No such Gepards were ever fielded here.
