I've never seen that Hobby Boss kit. Is it new? Very cool stuff.

Thanks, James! Yes, this kit is very new, just available late last month. I got it on 28 Dec and handed it to my builder on 30 Dec. The Trumpeter kit is also new, you're unlikely to see it before in finished mode. ;-)

I'll have to keep an eye out for the Bofors. I have the Bronco 6/2. I keep looking at mine, maybe this will make me build it. Did the Trumpeter kit come with the ammo trailer?

The Crusader in my other thread also sports the Bofors gun. The Trumpeter's Sd.Kfz. 6/2 comes with ammo trailer as seen in some pics here. Did the Bronco kit come with one?

No its separate.Yes I was looking at the Crusader AA tank. Very interesting looking vehicle.Nice work on it also.

Thanks for your comments on the Crusader, James. I just finished ordering another armor (modern) which is also equipped with Bofors 40mm Gun. It's newly-released Sweden CV90-40C IFV /W Additional All-round Armour from Hobby Boss:

Thanks for your kind words, Mat!

Ever wonder what tools AI uses in building these armors (7 in my latest page)? Now you can see them, for your eyes only:

His Comments:
1st line = Air Pump Home-made, submerged in water but still works.
2nd line = The sword is in the mind.
