This seems to be an interesting continuation of their Bedford QL series.
Though I haven’t seen any sprues on the web yet, I consider it likely that IBG will use quite some components from earlier models.
Hopefully, the “mistakes” from earlier models, like the wheel hubs, tyre type, mirror etc., have now been adjusted.
Remarkable, to my opinion, is the fact that they don’t offer the refueler in 1/35 scale. It would have made an interesting colorfull piece in many collections.
I will certainly buy two, building one as the tanker and the other one will be waiting for a refueler upgrade set. (Or my own try to scratch one if I can find the details for the beams)
The additional etch sets have already been ordered in Poland.

Just ordered this bad boy (HLJ): adding this tanker to the stash (you know, the stash that never gets built).

These additions sure beat the idea of more pointless paper panzers and as far as I'm concerned, is what the hobby (and dio builders) need. I'm thrilled to be able to build something else besides the same old every other kit.
