Well firstly it doesnt look like that outta the box. Its a kids toy but with an incredibly accurate hull. I can only imagine that teh original model maker commited suicide when he saw what the end reult was turned into. The stock electrics are a joke and the lasers that pop out from under teh bonnet have to be questioned!  BUT the hull is almost 1/1 perfect to teh 1/35 Tamiya kit. It cost me £100 from ebay.de but they dont sell them anymore. Modellers loft was pushing them out at £50 a pop at the last open day! All the turret was scratchbuilt using the Tamiya kit as a master and shed loads of other alterations were made including all new electrics and lights etc. One of my favorite models this one. tamiya actually do a specific spray colour for this as well which was helpful, but expensive after the 10th can!

And yep, space is getting a little tight!  Hence my move back to 1/16.........
