That's a beauty! Just when I get all settled on a Vandra Priest kit, along comes your great looking Lee and now I'm back to the great debate. Hmmmmm...

I had been eyeing the Vandra kit for a while until I saw one up close and compared it to the real thing and other scale models. And it made me decide to design my own kit because of the odd shape and dimensions of Vandra's kit...
I'm not a rivet-counter, but it was just too much to tinker with.

I have the vandra kit and I have abandoned the build for various reasons so would find another kit useful

The Vandra M3 turret is about half the size it should be, and fixing that requires a tear up of the whole roof :crazy:
