Very nice review and photography Evan: thanks.

I'm looking forward to seeing your completed one. Given it's size that should be in about an hour!

I think this will look good sitting on the tailgate of a helmet-top Humvee. The movable arm is a nice feature.

Yesterday I got The TALON EOD .I mounted the machine gun from the Stryker upgrade set from AFV CLUB . The up-graded armed version is called SWORD. I put an Insurgent from Masterbox IRAQ set 2 ( the one crouched down peeking around the corner), staring straight into the gun barrel,very effective. Letīs see when I get around to painting it all but it looks good.

Came across one of these in the LHS the other day and started it that evening. The build is simple and straight forward. I've left the runner/tracks off until after painting. My only complaint is that the plastic for the arm joints is way too fine and broke at both joins so now it's glued in one position. Not a major issue, just something to note.

Has anyone else done one?

Nice review.
To answer the last question, I purchased one from Colpar Hobbies in Aurora a few months ago, but have not had time built it yet. I did, however, do this one last year. As there are two different styles of track, I may stick with mine for the Cougar at any rate. Mine scaled out pretty well to the AFV Club one, so I guess theirs must be pretty accurate.

Nice review Evan. Thank you. I got one of these a few months ago off of Ebay for $5.00. Nice little kit. But I emphasize, LITTLE. Teeny, tiny parts make this one a carpet monster's delight. A fun kit though that went together well and only took an hour or so, without paint.

Robert, what brand are the ones you built, or are they scratchbuilt?
