Thanks ;)

Thanks for this review. Not a kit I had ever considered, but seeing this makes it a 'must have'. The colour scheme chart is incredible - so many excellent choices. I also like the Star decal sheet, if only for the 'Ekaterina' option. I see Trumpeter have since released a couple of updated versions, but this one is the most tempting, although I like the cover art for the Middle Eastern one.

It’s definitely one to get . It’s still reasonably priced too. The other releases are nice but the decal options are inspiring in this version.

@@PileOfKits Received mine today. Excellent service from Milan, Italy. They enclosed a 2024/25 Trumpeter catalogue, which is like a history of every AVF. I'd forgotten they made so many.

Just noticed the Star decal sheet states 'Russian AFVs in 1923 - 23'. History repeating itself?

you never know. ;)
