With the release of the Atomic Annie and a the Osprey Superguns book I recently recently received, I would like to build this kit. I know Panzershop made a kit and Trumpeter does now. Can anyone give a review between the two as to which one is better. I have read all the reviews and can't tell but maybe not even be able to get the Panzershop kit anymore. Also references other than the one book I have. Can anyone recommend them. Thanks in advance.

Hi, just stay away from the panzershop kit. It is overpriced, resin casting from panzershop is not that great in general and the kit is not as detailed as the trumpeter kit

Built the Trumpeter kit, very build-able, no issues and it's huge.

This appears to be a double-post but just in case my response to the other gets overlooked, here it is again:
Stan,
John Lindbom did the Trumpeter kit justice and posted it on this site; whilst not a kit review as such it might prove helpful. All that wiring/plumbing are not for the faint hearted - especially me!
