I'm working on it right now, thanks to SOPMOD. He let me have one of his.
It's not a bad kit, but i did have trouble with the wall behind the left rear seat. I had to cut away the cluster directly behind the seat and move it over becuase the seat wouldnt sit right. Othe than that, no problems so far.

Quality is good
but the seats have be adjust not of the tamiya base but on stracth and the they are not armoured the open turret is quiet good but not the weapon attachement part you will find a better one with blast for the turret.

i didn't purchase the other part of the kit

cheers

Seb,
Welcome to Armorama!

Please note that the support frame for the machine gun (the V shaped part) in Blast set is not correct type for M1114! M1114 uses different weapons ring and the part in MIG set is correct for this type. The one in Blast set (with holes in it) is not the right type, so using it would be an inaccuracy.

Can anyone tell me where I can get this kit other than from Blast-Models. I have had great service from them, but I am looking for something with less shipping (international shipping simply sucks).

Jeff,
If your talking about the MIG set, VLS carries MIG. Also, you may want to drop a line to SOPMOD6 and see if he still has an extra one he can part with.

Jeff,
The set consist of a new roof and hatch back, 4 bucket high back seats, left and right side armor, front grill, rear bumper, turret ring, rear wall, amd front windshield. I might of missed one or two things, but that is most of it.
