I picked this beast up on Ebay for less than $20 bucks and it arrived Yesterday. it was still sealed along with that I had also picked up Tamiya 1/72 scale Nakajima Hayate also still sealed that arrived yesterday.
After looking through the kit I might need to replace the vinyl ( I think it is vinyl but it is harder than vinyl) 4 piece tracks with something from either Bronco or AFV Club and probably get a RB Model replacement barrel for the shorter 120mm L/44 cannon. Of course AFV Club make some colored foil for the vision blocks and CTV turret.
The kit looks good looks like a newer Italeri kit with a lower hull pan that doesn't have motorization holes and markings for 4 different BundesWehr KFOR tanks and the Loaders MG3 looks pretty decent (looks like a MG42 though).
This is my 2nd BundesWehr kit the other being a half finished Marder 1A2 APC.
On the workbench: Dragon 1/350 scale Ticonderoga class USS BunkerHill 1/720 scale Italeri USS Harry S. Truman 1/72 scale Encore Yak-6
