I wonder if it also could be build as a non-TES version. If yes, I will send my Academy kit to the trashcan.

Very welcome release. I built the old Academy one and spent a "Month of Sundays" fixing the issues...

It would be really nice if they did a separate full interior for it like they did for their M3A3 Bradley kit.

Fantastic-looking kit! It seems that the slat armour is in plastic but looks clean and -almost- to scale so that I won't have to go gibbering on a PE set so I'm in. The track jig caught my eye and I'd really like to see how this works and if it'll work on other vehicles' tacks.

bring it on!
I'm praying for an interior too that would be the bee's knees.

To think I have the Accurate Armour photoetch set for the Academy Warrior from yesteryear in the stash. Along with Star decals to match. And, this is already reduced at hobbyeasy, due next month. Clearly not an April fool’s prank then.
