Wondering how the new turret parts are and if the bumpers and lightguards are updated from the old DML kit?

Hiya,

I will be getting the kit within the next couple of weeks, so I will let you know what I think (whoo boy, just what we all need) of it soon enough. I have been told that it is a dissapointment as far as details go, but I am reserving judgement until I have it in my hands. Oh, it is also only supposed to have a new sprue for hte -A turret, no other improvements. SIGH.

HI

There was a review posted somewhere a few months back..hmm TL?? Suffice to say the fact we are not seeing a raft of builds would seem to indicate that it may be a disappointment.

Now, it Tamiya or Trump would release a new mould version .... zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
