Wow!
To start with, what absolutely superb, crisp moldings with no flash or tags and great detail, in my humble opinion, all their kit looks spot-on too.
The rendition of the Vickers MMG is great with the water cooling bag and ammo box molded on the tripod base.
Also the bits look to fit together really well, with little-to-no fetterling, not something that can be can said for many white metal kits!
All-in-all a superb little kit.
