Well, its pretty much the only game in town!  It is a decent enough kit, though as with all models there bits to improve depending on how much you care about the smaller details.

IIRC the biggest problem is the lack of a canvas mantlet cover, but both Bronco and Accurate Armour make a resin piece for it.

I don't build to much armour but I have this one in the stash. Looks a nice kit, but as Nev says could do with a mantlet cover - tissue paper and white glue the old fashioned way ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I think I'm going to go with the aluminum barrel not sure if i'm going to buy the cover or make my own,a little off track but I find the alcohol prep swabs i use before injecting my insulin make a far more convincing Canvas look than most tissue paper I have been able to find
Thanks guys :thumbsup:
