That stuff is awesome, but I really am not a fan of the huge castings for the M1078 truck. I hate trying to paint individual items, it is just irritating to me. Overall, they're great

This is how conversions kits should be...all the gear, comms, and guns included in one kit instead of having the modeler buy things piecemeal. I'm sure there are many modelers out there who have all these separate guns and gears from various companies to make Spec Ops Vehicles. But for those that don't, Blackdog's kit is a nice welcome "All in One" kit to convert a regular military vehicle into a SOF one.

Looks good for the most part, but I will have to pass! ALL of the fuel cans are wrong! They only have two handles instead of the 3. There are just too many of them included to over look for me. J

Not only that, but with a monolithic block of gear, you've cut out half the opportunity for individualization -- two different people use the same upgrade set, or you build two of them, all the gear is going to be arranged identically between the two vehicles, and the only thing you can do with it is paint the items in the casting differently. And even if you get each rucksack, jerry can, and camo net painted differently, how likely is it that two different crews are going to throw gear into the back of their vehicles and have it wind up in exactly the same spot? I agree that it's an impressive addition, and saves a ton of work doing it all from scratch, but monolithic add-ons like this have some inherent limitations that can reduce their usability.

Hello, what do you think about the combat gear of the Blackdog RSOV crew? Is it really good for Afghanistan ?
