Yikes. $70 after shipping…
I did a full walkaround of that one at Fort Carson several years. Still in the “one day…” stage. It needed fold down steps in the back, which I was able to bogart from Panda M109A7 kits.
I wish I was smart like the CAD guys so I could just do this on my own but alas not enough brain power.
Yes, they are expensive. I was looking at their Avenger conversion, which looks amazing, but… no.

The one in my photo wouldn’t take much - .020 sheet, some Evergreen freight car siding for the doors, and various pieces of strip. The steps are the would be the hardest part, but I have those now as well. It’s just not high on the list of priorities. Are you interested in building one?
not sure if you are asking me but this is on my list of things to build but not sure about the cost that’s 4 maybe five boxes of bullets.
It was directed at Maki, but yeah, cartiridges are still pretty pricey - all the more reason to reload my own. (and to scratchbuild the things I like)
I was toying with the idea of Ukrainian Avenger so my eyes immediately popped out when I saw Liam’s offering. It looks like a really well done conversion. The $95 mark on eBay turned me off though… and they are not shipping to my neck of the woods anyway.
I haven’t been able to find any stores carrying the brand, only eBay.

He is in Austria…@maki not saying to buy his finished model, but perhaps you can obtain the raw kits from him? It’s a gamble as he has no ETSY reviews.
Pete, I think this is an old Italeri kit?
Mario
And why not for a JLTV?
The taller shop box will go really well in the resin kit of the CUCV.
I ordered the M1152 SECM yesterday. I am excited about it.
From eBay? Does the guy send to EU?
Mario
Mario- Through eBay, it didn’t work out. I wrote an email and we came to an agreement. PayPal payment and yesterday went out to ship the package
Nice. Let us know of your impressions when you receive the parcel.
Mario
Cool…so it worked out directly through the seller from some other way. Yes, the price is high, but I see that you @Maki write reviews, so…
Usually eBay discourages (indeed prevents) offsite communication, but there are creative ways around it. Often I make deals with sellers that pretty much amount to a free kit when purchasing mulitples, with no loss of money to the seller.
Hmmm…During my holiday a package arrived. I paid 300 PLN +75 PLN for customs. Altogether about 80 US dollars. I open the box and there …the manual . Great disappointment and anger. I wrote an email and waited…
Oof, that is rough.
