May have been missed by some in other news. Should be better than the verlinden effort in 1/35 with 30 years of technology.

Not sure about FC Model Trend stuff. Never tried them myself, but the reviews of their sets are far from favorable.

A 1\16 model of one of my vehicles and it’s from FC Model Turd! No thank you. I’ll wait and hope SOL models does one.
In that photo, the TOW turret is mounted backwards.
“Mounted backwards”, not the best start… and yes, Sol will / would do a better job.

I bought a set of IDF AFV hooks and handles from them, and whole set is useless, parts are too big and thick for 1/35 scale.

Looks like the forgot several detail items like top deck side periscopes, the ramp vision block, and details peculiar to the 113A2 hulls used on M901s such as the armored flip cover for the radiator filling point. Some smoke grenade launchers and the extra round stowage boxes on the glacis were standard as well.

The turret is shown in travel position, but with the launcher facing forward (incorrect). AND…the M901 was only produced on the M113A2 chassis. There are a number of corrections needed to make this correct beyond the drivers hatch and the turret mount. Also, from what I can see, it is missing all the optical components in the center between the tubes.
