Has anyone seen the LAV-25 Parahna from R/G? Is it worth getting?

I don't know for sure, but I would bet it is the Italeri LAV-25. Mine is a decent enough kit, but purists will say it represents a preproduction vehicle. Close enough for me.

Thanks Rob,
I'm not a rivet counter. I have the Italeri LAV-25 with the tow and it seems OK. I just got the Armored Car book and it has inspired me to do a LAV. I think I'll go with the R/G Parahna kit.

Jeffry,
Thanks for your reply. I found a review of the kit that bears out your and Rob's opinion. The kit uses the Italeri molds as at least a starting point.
As I build mostly for my own amusment I rarely indulge in aftermarket kits. Not that I am ruling that out. As long as the finished model is pleasing to my eye I am a happy man.
