 Subject:  Re: Best 1/35 M18 from the hull down?List thread.

 From:  Jim Lewis 
I chose the AFV Club kit for my M39 project - I'm midway through it now. Both kits have their pros and cons - and have just been beaten to death. I selected mine because I felt I can better workout the inaccuracies of the AFV Club kit and still have the all-important "fun factor" in completing the model too. I get to tour and climb all over an M18 in a local collection reqularly. Personally, I like AFV Club's kit better in capturing the look and feel of the full-sized vehicle more than Academy's does for me. However, I'd love to see both an AFV Club-based and Academy-based M39 conversion side-by-side. That would be nice...
