Modelling armour in Ukraine crisis

Steer well away. The Biggus Dorkus’s conversion is dreadful. It uses the old Tamiya base kit which has the wrong tracks (they give you a crappy extension piece!), wrong light clusters, wrong engine deck, wrong driver’s hatch, wrong drive sprocket, The horribly chunky Idler needed for the poly cap, etc.

The BD parts have rear tailights that sit flush on the rear bed frame, when they should be mounted away from it and the outer housing should extend in front of the lens, not behind it, securing loops way too big and that hang way over over the sides, wrong shape on the rear deck part over the towing pintle, the deck is all one piece with treadplate, not anything like the real thing, it is missing everything behind the armoured cab, no mirror, etc. Note also it has the older tube frame on the roof.




(takes a beep breath)… and then there is …

Then there is their cargo Box??:

Some more pics for reference purposes:
The first is an older pic - Note the AS1 Leopard in the background.
