Does anyone know of a review or build article for the Accurate Armour m1070/m1000 kit. I just wondered what to look out for as I attempt to build the thing. Thank you all

Don't know of any on-line reviews, But it was reviewed and built-up in a couple issues of Tamiya Model Magazine Int. There is preview of the kit in TMMI issue 94 and a build of it in issue 98.

I am actually building it for a customer now. Here are a couple threads I have on it as well.
Initial in-progress Cab interior complete.

Mine is almost done. I didn't have any problems with it. The trailer steering mechanisms were a little tricky since they are at tight angles in tight places. Other than that, it went together with no problems. I should have some pics of the completed model up soon. I'm just waiting for the buyer to send me pics of bumper numbers to make bumper # decals for it.

Let me just say now how jealous I am of you both, HeavyArty and barv! I'd love to get one of these kits, but I just can't justify the price, even as awesome as your posts make them look! I guess I can hope that AA licenses the kit to a plastic company for a cheaper version (or that I hit the lottery).
