Hi,

Bought this nifty little set for the AFV Club kit last week.

There is a good photo of the real vehicle in Squadron's "Armor in
Vietnam" book.

You get an excellent 4 page instructions leaflet (rare enough in resin
kits to be worth mentioning).

3 lengths of square plastic rod.

A 3 part Santa Claus resin figure.

4 reindeer silhouettes and sleigh parts in resin.

Tiny resin bells for the reinders.

A fairly big decal sheet.

You will need some plasticard for the sleigh (not provided) and some
thin metal wire (also not provided).

Overall a great set, the only downside is that some of the decals use
tiny points to make up certain shades of green or red. These will best
be carefully overpainted. Still 75% of the decals don't suffer from this
and it's better than no decals at all!

All this for the princely sum of £6.60...

Cheers,

Christophe
