Ah, missed that then.:doh:

 

Agreed, based on the renders it does look better than IBG's offering. Looks like Thunder Model may be able to take advantage of not being first on the market.:hmmm:

I`m just started with this one . A very detailed engine in spite of having to trim off some injection stalks ,

some of the parts are tiny , look closely at them and at the illustrations as it`s possible to fit them the wrong

way round or even upsidedown , as I did on two occasions . Fortunately spotting my mistakes before the

glue set ! . I have the Accurate Armour one in my collection and find the Thunder one even better , and

what a difference in price ! . I love this kit , but then I`m old enough to remember them .

A word of caution Phil , when you get round to building the tractor unit , the winch assembly does not sit " square " across the

chassis , the nearside ( left ) is just forward of the right ! . This was one of my mistakes , a planview drawing would have

been helpful . Some fine nosed tweezers are a must on this kit .
