Great to have more French stuff but the VAB has a number of mistakes you'll need to address. The ladder to climb onto the roof and the rear light clusters are wrong. None of theses details existed at the time French gendarmerie manned these VAB. I have never seen inner padding on the troop compartement hatches. The wheel hub cover is the late type and not correct for the time frame. Olivier

agreed! what a pity the ladder was moulded with the hull... The real new product here is not the VAB itself but the decals sheet...
