I'd better hurry up and build my K1A1 before this one comes out, otherwise it'll probably stay parked in my stash forever.

Interesting looking kit! I'm not much up on modern Korean armor, what is the function of the large round structure on the right rear of the turret?

John, I got a big enough stash of kits already So, I got to "narrow down" the purchases. Sure, if I have a bigger place it would be nice to have both. A few weeks ago I did scour the web for the academy K1A1 but the prices were not low enough for its age.

I got excited that it was an Austin there but it turns out to be just a modern tank. Oh well, keep hoping.

Good luck to you if it's your thing though.
