Very useful review Darren - thanks. Mine is not due until this coming week and I am looking very forward to it (like I need another model!).

I’m not too sure where AK are coming from in allocating the Brit BAOR version to “Nuerburgring”; there were no Brit units in Nuerburg that I know of. However, that is to quibble - the marking options are very impressive. For the record the BAOR vehicle depicted is part of 6 Armd Bde, and is one of the 2 constituent armoured regiments of said brigade. If anybody is thinking of modelling this particular version (and I might) then it should really be left-hand drive, and as you point out, the weapon clips should be on the bulkhead.

I’ve said it before, but we really are well served as modellers these days.

'Love it! That appears to be the one actually in the kit.

I meant of course, that there were no Brit units based in Nuerburg; I’m not surprised (at the pic) though, Brit soldiers get everywhere(!)

Love the Health & Safety in that pic! Sitting on the crash barrier…

Those were the days…sigh
