Wanted to build one of these for a while.Only one I found was the Dragon "smart kit". Not sure why they call them smart?I try to avoid them.Parts are far too tiny,fit is not good and an over array of PE too tiny to use.In the end it worked out OK with filler.Did the British desert version.Just waiting for a dio.

Looks great, Tom. I agree with you about the fit. I found the worst problem was the sides - despite what the instructions say, put the ammo bins in AFTER putting the sides on, otherwise the sides don't fit properly.

Regards
