Blaster,
I built mine two (maybe three?) years ago after seeing an article in MMiR that featured a build of that kit. After seeing the really poor instructions (I'm being charitable here) from the kit, I was very thankful I had purchased the MMiR, as the info from the author made it possible to pile all that resin together. A lot of work, and I was not able to get all of the wheels to line up straight, but I will probably apply a little heat to rectify that problem.
The article recommended using the AFV M35 truck for some cab substitutions, including the windshield and dash. The Eduard PE kit was also useful.
Overall, it builds up nice, just keep any references handy that you can lay your hands on!
Good Luck!
