                        Hey guys.

                        I went over to a LHS today and couldn't resist picking something up... Since I'm still waiting on some DML kits, i took a look at some of the off the beaten path russian kits - I settled on an Alan 019 1/35 Bison 1 Kit...

                        If anybody's worked with this kit, it'd be greatly appreciated if you gave me some thoughts/experience pointers.

                        More importantly however, I'm searching for someone on-line references about the vehicle. I've already looked at the achtungpanzer site.

                        Thanks in advance.
                        Cheers.
                        Ed

                        I have this kit as well and while I haven't started building it yet, I am going replace a few things. I recommend getting aftermarket track (modelkasten, friul). Jordi Rubio has a nice sig33 barrel (with carriage) for other german kits, but it will work well with this kit. It looks good in the box, I think it just needs some extra help to make it look better.

                        Thanks for the links Rob!

                        I just started on the kit... Not likely going to shell for AM parts (budget's tight these days)... We'll see how it turns out OOB
