Got the Magic Factory Booker completed.It is an excellent kit,for buildability,I rank it with Tamiya,and nicely detailed.Came with a metal barrel,small PE fret,masks for wheels and vision ports,plus some reflective decals for the vision blocks.I built it in the commemrative markings for the WWII M-10 Wolverine,I kept the weathering to some light dusting and dirt as I figure it isn’t in the field.
Tojo72,
That M-10 Booker turned out great. Your light weathering looks good especially on such a newer vehicle. This kit is definitely on my list to get soon.
Nicley done! How are their kits in regards to assembly/fit?
I have their combo F4U Corsair kit. I know two different animals but just curious.
Looks great. It came out very nicely.
This is the only one I’ve done,I would compare it to Tamiya
The Booker looks excellent, Tojo72! I really like that weathering.
That looks great @Tojo72! I like the clean, dusty look. Overall very crisp and pleasing. The reflective decals are
The tools and stowage stuff all come in the kit?
Absolutely fantastic Anthony… well done Sir. I really like that kit. Dang… now I have to order one
@Tojo72
I really like the look of the vision blocks, but I can’t find any post where you show how you did it. So I’ll ask here., how did you do the vision blocks?
Yeah,I didnt do a blog on this one.The kit provides reflective stickers for alll the blocks,the instructions call for colors to paint the clear blocks then you apply the stickers,they also provide masks to cover them while painting the vehicle,I didnt use them,I installed the glass after painting.
Good work on the model. I like how it turned out.
If anybody’s interested, here’s some links on the M10 Booker.

Nice work like the classic markings.
Looks good. I’m assuming that since you compare it to Tamiya, it’s an easy build?
Yes went together well,no issues,thanks Russ
Great work! I have this in my stash.
Welcome aboard,thanks,you’ll enjoy it.
Well done Tony. Awesome job and what I consider a really cool new tank (if they call it a tank). Also named after two different guys named Booker.
From Wiki -
The MPF was officially designated “M10 Booker” in June 2023, named for American soldiers Private Robert D. Booker and Staff Sergeant Stevon Booker. Robert Booker was killed on 9 April 1943 during the Tunisian campaign of World War II, and was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. Stevon Booker was killed on 5 April 2003 during a “Thunder Run” in the 2003 invasion of Iraq, and was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross.
Thanks,I think they call it an Infantry Assault Vehicle.
