thanks for the unboxing, Jim. Looks like a kit to add to the stash (and hopefully build one day...)

Cheers!

Thanks for the video review, Jim, looks like a really nice kit. But I'll wait for the MK I, I just prefer the look of that one!

I wonder if I should wait for AFV Club's kit and compare the two.. hmmm... decisions, decisions

Hi Jim, nice preview of the MKII. Lots of small parts, indeed. The final build should be nice but for the price, I may have to wait. Another comment for MiniArt, perhaps too many small parts for younger model makers and for those of us over 60 who may not have the eyes we used to. Thanks again.

You do not pronounce the "S" in the word "Corps"

I always thought it was pronounced "Cor" without pronouncing the "p" or the "s"?

Correct - "corp" might get used as a shortened "Corporal", but not in the Army

Did I do that? I know that distinction of course but when you are reading things live sometimes stuff gets jumbled in your head. I was doing a gaming review this week and called an IS tank an IS-7 even though I know the difference very well.

Cheers,
Jim

At least I didn't call anyone a corp-s-man.
