great news! ....but not so great for my bank account. So if I am correct we now have 2 resin kits of this subject, the other one being from Real Model?

at $300 Aussie dollars for the truck and trailer as much as I would like it I am afraid it is well out of my price range.

Accurate Armour have done a great job to bring this vehicle trailer combo out. I agree the price is a little scary but the resin quality ,detail speaks for itself. From building the staghound,17 pounder and crusader gun tractor the only area I would be concerned with is the instructions. It will be a challenge for any modeler to accomplish . The finished model would really look good on the modeling shelf . Michael

Yes it would, I am tempted too, maybe I will just have to go for one of the trucks, or maybe just the trailer and look for a truck in plastic.

Nice report Kevin on a very interesting project. Accurate Armor is a precise manufacturer and after working with a turret conversion kit of theirs I really need to get this latest offering. Just which one? ~ Jeff

[/quote] The problem I'm facing is do I buy The Accurate Armour model in resin or face this vehicle being released by one of the larger model manufacturers bringing it out in plastic at half the price. Previous record of the staghound,17 pounder ,humber amoured car,landrover....ect it sure makes it hard to convince the purchase of this great looking model. Michael

I think it's more about what you like working with better ... plastic or resin. Although cost is very important to the modeler I believe it's not for everyone, working in resin that is. And the cost of producing in that material is a bit more involved too as well. If working with resin is appealing and one can afford it, don't wait. ~ Jeff
