 From:  Martin Dogger 
I'm not an expert on the Verlinden products, and know next to nothing about the turret.
The hull has some problems. The rear plate is off, it should be vertical, but afaik it is not. The front cast part is welded to the flat plate rear, and these welds are not correct. They are at an angle, while they should run parallel to the front 'line', or vice versa. Overal detail might be improved upon. I have the VP M4A1 hull, and it's not a winner.

Here are some useful links:

With this amount of info, I'd probably have you safely over at the 'dark side';)
