I purchsed this kit in a limited time offer deal from a model shop that also sells on Facebook, total price delivered £25.50 Bargain ThumpUp Cool

I seem to have taken a liking to Meng kits, although I am yet to build one LOL. This make 3 in my stash now and just purchased another one today also on a limited time sale Ooops.

Meng will also be announcing a new model tomorrow Cool

It looks to be up to their usual high standard with regards to parts quality, I cant comment on construction quality because as said above I am yet to build one of them, however online reviews seem to be quite favourable.

It is an interesting tank and really took my attention, of course the price helped too.

The tracks are of the no clue variety which I am led to understand makes them sit more realistically when on the wheels. It comes with a jig to help with assembling them which seems common across Meng kits but this one doubles up as a jig for bending the photo etch grills.

One thing I did notice that was a great idea is that at a couple of points in the instructions it asks you to make a part a certain length, it then gives you a rule on the side of the page to measure against.

I have to agree just from looking at the kits, Ive just purchased the Panzerhaubitze 2000 with add on armour (TS-019) for £26 delivered from the same Facebook seller of the AMX. They post some really awesome limited time deals

I wasnt aware there was an alternative interior kit for the Bradley M2A3 which is the one I have, is it definitely for the M2A3?, as the kit comes with interior.

After the M2A3 Meng did release a M3A3 Bradley, that was kind of a two part affair, one kit for the Bradley and one kit for the interior to give people more choice
