I am REALLY looking forward to this, it's now a race between it and the Panther F.
The Trumpeter interior can only be an improvement on the Skif interior..
The AEF set I have has a great rear tunnel section, but the hull is poor and the turret base is terrible. The less said about the turret interior the better.
