Sounds like my experience on base at RAF Alconbury back in the day in a CUCV Blazer

Yeah, they bounce like a bouncy ball

I’ve got their Unimog S404 with all of the extras, 3d printed snorkels & resin wheels. The scope for super detailing without too much effort it there also.

While waiting for the kits to arrive, have already taken out of the stash a couple of these nice boxes to get some goodies to dress up the trucks. AK already provides some nice MRE boxes in the kits, but hope to see these offered apart too, for the many kits of the same era still waiting for stowage.

I got the version with the cargo cover today. It looks great. 3 days via DHL from Spain, direct from AK Interactive, isn’t bad at all.

I ordered from Michigan Toy Soldier, but unfortunately for me they have not received any from AK yet, so I’m on a time-out. And a little envious of the quick response Gino had from the manufacturer.

I ordered from AK Interactive a few times. DHL shipping isn’t cheap, but it’s often a certain fixed amount so if you order quite a bit, it pays off.

Also AK Interactive offers Reward Points for spending (like cash back) and they have sales whenever they feel like it compared to just the Summer months and the Holidays. AK Interactive even has a section of Clearance Items daily.

Service and packaging are excellent and I’m very happy that AK Interactive has succeeded and contributed so much to the hobby.

I’ve also ordered from Michigan Toy Soldier and they’re very good too, but if one can get it direct from the actual manufacturer, it takes out the “Middle man” from the equation and paying for a seller’s profit margin is rather spent on paying the shipping.

One interesting part to this kit is no engine nor engine bottom blank. It is just empty underneath, and the hood is separate and could me shown open too. Maybe a future kit will have one? I may add a 3D printed engine and extras in the engine compartment on mine. We shall see.
