Hello.

Does anyone know this set?
Can anyone tell me what's in the box or where to find a review and is it useful or should I rather tend to Italeri's offering?
I intend to convert a M2 Bradley, ...sometime.
Thx
Stefan

The Stinger pod on the M6 Linebacker is not quite the same as the pods on the Avenger.

Hello,

thanks for your reply.
I also realised this.
It's a pity.
But I got an offer for an 50% discount on this set and wonder if it is far superior to the Italeri Avenger Humvee. So I could buy an Tamiya Humvee an use this conversion. So does anyone got this set and can tell if it's worth the price of 20 Euros or not?
Maybe I drop the plan of converting a M2, since sometime Tamiya will/may release a mod of their M2A2 ODS?

Don't quote me on this but I am pretty sure that the Real Model conversion allows you to build an accurate Avenger for the Bosnian conflict and OIF, whereas the Italeri version was an earlier variant/initial production model. Like I said though, don't quote me on that.
