Murphy's plastic law! Or you just finish a really tricky vac-form build then a injection molded kit is released! 😮

Yeah, unfortunately another victim. But it's a very nice cast, that softens it a bit

In the absence of detailed reviews so far: Just got my copy of the kit. Absolutely amazing, even beats the Meng DR9 for coolness. The pictures I have seen so far did not even show that on top of all the all the Pearson equipment, both M58 MICLIC boxes can be shown open, with full detail (rockets, line charges, etc.). Heck, this is going to be serious fun...

Booby traps and AP mines can ruin a Sapper's day, but in a pure AT (anti-tank) minefield the EOD tech's ground bearing pressure should not be sufficient to detonate an AT mine.
As a young Sapper I thought that walking around in a mine field may be unwise, but my training assured me otherwise. There were still days when I wished I had a job in a library instead.
The M-1 ABV seems to be the culmination of generations of engineering vehicle development dating back to Sherman and Churchill tank engineering conversions. I hope the dozer blade conversion is available soon.
I wonder if a remote control kit is in the works for the ABV? The RC capable M-1 Panther II was the best toy in NATO. I once saw a young lieutenant try to make hand signals to a nonexistent driver on a RC Panther II. The infantry were always entertaining.
The ABV is a force multiplier by increasing Sapper productivity, but it is noisy and tends to alert defenders. For sneaky preparations and probing of defenses, the tried and true "Liberace" method of crawling on your belly feeling the ground ahead of you, as if you were playing the piano will still have its place. As ever, match the tool to the job at hand.

Now, in January 2018, I can safely say that this was my kit of the year for 2017! Now, if we could get them to do a Grizzly, they'd be up for another winner 😉
