Great model! It's a shame I can't afford these models. Lars

Me too but what detail for a resin model! I'm sure building one of those would be a challenge! They are starting to offer some very nice vehicles!

Beautiful, beautiful kits! Accurate Armor is just the top of the industry. I always enjoy building their kits, they are so well engineered and molded. Every subject is something that you can't get anywhere else. The ANTAR tractor is only 3 new Dragon kits in price. Think of it that way. If you want one, it's attainable.

AA always makes good & highly detailed kits. The only thing is it's just too expensive for me. Maybe someday I maybe able to acquire one. It's always on the top of my wishlist.

Having build a few of Accurate Armour's offerings, I can confirm that they are both superb kits, and can be a bit of a handful to get the best of. As for the cost, they cost generally around the price of say three Dragon kits. So perhaps instead of buying all those other kits and sticking them in the stash, maybe splash out on one of AA's beauties, and build it. Remember, that all these AA kits are 'hand cast' rather than mass produced, and come as complete kits with all the brass, decals, carbon aerials ( I kid you not), chains, coloured lenses, etc etc included. Personally, I'm really looking forward to the new armoured Land Rovers, but that is a different story... Henk
