I'm actually quite tempted to have a go at braille scale looking at those. I think the last thing I built in that scale was a B17 when I was 14 which sadly must have been shot down during the night as when I woke up the next day it was no longer on the ceiling but in a million bits on the floor. Tempted by the Montys caravan as they've got that at Duxford so ideal for reference pics

The Zvezda BTR-70 is the DML BTR-70 reboxed.

Woohoo! The LRDG set is my favourite model ever. It started a lifelong interest in the LRDG/SAS. Great to see it back in production!

As Karl said, Monty's caravan is at IWM Duxford. It was eerie to see it when I was there last year, having built the Matchbox model as a kid. It was like meeting a childhood hero or something. I mean, when you see a tank or a jeep or a plane, it's one from a batch of thousands; but there was only one Monty's caravan. You can look inside the thing... Amazing.

Sorry, got carried away there
