Over a decade ago, ARMS Corps Models was producing some of the finest detailed resin conversion sets for Australian vehicles - like their M1 Abrams and ASLAV sets.

I should mention I know Jason, the owner, hence my being able to buy an early release from him. I have no connection to the business in any way, just a friendship with him. Even so, I will not do a review or rate the product. I have given my own take on what I see, shown you the quality of what is in the box and you can decide from there.
