repackaging? picked up a M38A1 (aka jeep) and saw on the sprue skybow. not complaining since it looks DAMN good as parts. seems a lotta detail, unlike tamiyas version of a jeep even tho they represent 2 diff eras. didn't expect a full engineCool [8D], a bit of room for some detailing. perhaps AFV bought up skybows molds. let ya know how it turns out.

AfV Club did buy out Skybow sometime last year.

I hope AFV Club releases all of the Skybow kits, including the M41 (which IMO is better than the AFV Club kit.)

well, it done and looks quite nice. parts fit very well, except fpr the frame and floor board. the transmission seems ti be a BIT high, but finger squeezing them together works w/out damage of any kind. it's far better than what tamitya has for a jeep. one thing lacking is a driver, but one from the M16 quad50 will do. kaleu, having seen pics of both, and based on that alone, i think i'd preferr AFVs version. i'd marry it if i could Big Smile [:D]
