I’m liking some of the cool subjects this company is coming out with, especially that Universal Carrier.
My only fear is that they might be over-engineered. I mean there are quite a few parts in that carrier. Has anyone built one of their kits yet?
no, I haven’t yet, but that, RV35001 US MRAP 4x4 Maxx Prc, kit looks like something I’ll be getting
Wow, that Universal Carrier looks like something that would interest me. I had wanted to build an Aussie Carrier a couple years ago, but it appears they only ever used the MKI, and the Tamiya MKII was all that was available at the time. Your right that it looks a little over engineered (like the P.E. seat brackets they have pictured…yowser!), especially for something that is quite small. But being an entirely open topped vehicle I guess there are many that could appreciate that level of detail. But it is going to make for a bear of a build.
I just wish they could do two-piece styrene tracks. The detail and assembly would be so much better.
I’ve seen a couple of builds done of their Radschlepper Ost and they looked up to modern standard in terms of molding, quality, and fit. The UC is available to pre-order so it will be released soon…as for the others, no firm dates set for them yet…but a lot of people are eager for them! [:D]
