Hello all, I have the opportunity to buy the Verlinden 1/35 M48 Vietnam sandbag armor & stowage (#2565) at a good price, but I would like to know the quality of it. I'm better buying the sets from Legend (LF1292) or Black Dog (T35163)? Thanks.

Verlinden's quality was usually pretty good. The figures were always disputed because they seemed a little large compared to other 1/35 offerings...

Question - which model?
Verlinden fits Tamiya, the others match Dragon

The Tamiya M48A3 kit. I know that the other sets are for Dragon but I think I could adapt one of them without much problem if the quality is better than Verlinden. Thank you.
