Could not resist this new tank, even if the turret has a bit of a flaw to it. I will be adding a walk around I took in Munster asap. look for it in the gallery.

c9150a5261805a9ae9564a2c9606fde1.jpgApparently Bronco is making available a replacement turret f. The original item had a weld seam incorrectly placed on th eroof.

The replacement turret, CB35069SP revised M-24 turret parts, are being charged at cost only.
Any CB35069 US M-24 kits produced since 1st February 2012 will have the new turret parts so check the kits contents to make sure you don't have the new one before buying the replacement.

Note the British version also has the revised turret.

Looks like a nice kit but I will pass on it as I have the Formation's conversion for the old Italeri kit that I will be quite content with. I 've seen some sprue shots and such and that is a pretty complex kit that should keep one busy for quite some time. Enjoy.

I have a buddy that is building it and it really sounds like a over-engennered kit in the suspension area.

Personally I like the more detailed, "over-engineered" type of kit as I feel it helps with educating one about how these beasts are put together in real life. I remember when I was a kid and would build those car models from MPC or whoever and the parts were actually named as well as numbered in the instructions, so you learned what was what. I wish these manufactures of armour kits would do the same. I prefer the complex to the simplified. Just my personal opinion, no better than anyone else ...
