Riich were a name I was only familiar with through magazine articles, mostly favourable, however when I heard about their release of a Bren Gun Carrier in 1/35 scale I just had to have one! The kit is moulded in light grey styrene and supplied on 12 sprues with the addition of 1 clear sprue. 3 etched frets, 32 springs, 8 rods, a length of chain & cord & two decal sheets! As this is a fairly small vehicle you can imagine the detail included out of the box. Please see below for some pics of the parts, I've left them in bags as I won't get a chance to build it for a while. File Attachment(s): Wilfy the Sea Dog attached the following image(s):

All the parts are very crisply moulded & have no flash.
Detail is superb for a vehicle of this size & includes a full engine & transmission, interior detail, armaments & three crew figures. The tracks are link & length & have full detail.
The instructions are supplied as a semi-gloss booklet with clear illustrations & part numbering.
The kit is built over 45 steps.
The decals are in register & legibly printed.
Overall a fantastic kit from a manufacturer who could have a very bright future!
Highly recommended.

Looks very well detailed with good quality parts and nicely thought out instruction. Can you give us an idea of price? Hope to see this in the military builds soon  Jase “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.”

Hi Jase,
My naff pics don't do it justice! Also don't know why some are showing as links, all are the same size (800 x 600) did do the adjustments through Windows 8 though & really haven't grasped it's features yet!
Bought mine from Lucky Model at $45 delivered think it's a fair price.

 Hi Wilfy She looks a nice little kit the bren carrier has always had a soft spot for me , I think that the brass at one point tried to get it withdrawn as being obsolete but the troops and officers on the ground kicked up such a fuss she was saved. Another vehicle iv always liked is the German Kettenkrad Zoukei-Mura do a nice one in 1/32 scale that are still available . Link below http://www.zoukeimura.co...roducts/sws_ketten.html

Certainly looks a very detailed kit and I'm amazed at how much is included knowing how small a vehicle this is in 1:35 scale? Good luck with that one Wilfy, it will be an interesting build to watch!!
