I wonder if anyone will buy another resin conversion when there is a full plastic kit is on the horizon?

The molding on this may be better than the plastic, some shape or another may "look" better than the plastic. Most of all the turret will not have thr cobblestone cast texture that mars all the Afv-club M60 series thus far.

This is a reissue of the old (but quite good) Adler conversion, Sol Model didn't have to invest much since they bought Adler's masters when they folded. Not the same thing as designing a complex conversion from scratch.

These kinds of kit subjects are just great! What could beat a TANK with a DOZER blade! I just love engineer and recovery vehicles. And I'm still waiting for a really good Bergepanther in 1/35th as well!
