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...ColemanCollector wrote: ↑Sat Aug 19, 2023 10:01 pm That's a beauty!

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
It’s your tank it’s what you make it

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