This one has been out for a while.  I got mine from HLJ. Problem is I don't know if the Mk1 ever saw actual combat....


Very nice looking engineering, BTW.

If you're a Brit armor fan such as myself, this is a very good time for Valentines. Miniart  has a slew of variants out as well, and Bronco has announced one. I'm waiting for them and some reviews to make a decision. I was a little surprised by the high price on the Miniart kits though.

I have the Miniart kit. Yeah they're pricey but given that they have quite a bit of internal details in the rear end and a VERY nice figure set included. $65 bucks isn't all that bad. This is the one I have.

Hey Ken, have you had a chance to start this kit yet?

No but i've rolled around on the bed with the sprues... :)

I don't know when I'll get a chance to build it... It's standing in line with about 250 other kits right now. IIRC Terry Ashely gave it pretty good marks on Perth. The figures are beautiful for sure though.

My only complaint, and some reviews have backed this up, is that AFV Club tends to have a lot of small barts and over-engineered kits. I also found the directions confusing and incorrect, at least on my build.
