I haven’t heard anything good about Border kits although the British Crusader is supposedly better than the old Italeri version.
I’ve read several reviews on ML and one other site whose name escapes me at the moment and most say it is much better but does fall short in a few areas. I have both kits but haven’t compared them side by side yet.

Wow that’s a great price. I got the MkIII kit no. BT012 last August for $47.78 tax and shipping off eBay.

Excellent sarcasm, A_B.
The ‘rivet counters’ need to not ruin the hobby for us who enjoy it as a hobby. It ain’t real life, kiddies. Just hunks of plastic sometimes needing a bit of TLC.
RC’s were the main reason I had quit the hobby for ten years. 'Nuff said…

Don’t understand how it is ruining the hobby for others. If one wants correct detail they know what not to get. If one is looking for a reasonable facsimile that may work for their needs. Nothing wrong with either group or floating between each depending on your project and what you want to achieve. Your review for the most part helps the latter group.
Not attending to attack you personally, one might say your a rivet counter as your review comment of “has the correct steering linkage” as that starts to get into specific details that gets people labeled rivet counters. For me a 251 isn’t my jam so if it had a rough shape that’s close it would work regardless of the linkage as that is not the focus if I needed one.
At the end of the day it’s your project, who cares what someone else thinks about the detail. They can build one for themselves to their standard if they want that.

True…
Just letting off a little steam…
…as I did mention about the linkage that was missing on both Tamiya and Dragon. That was my little contribution to the ‘RC’ world.
BTAIM… I am back to enjoying the hobby and will muddle through like everyone else is.
