Accurate Armour do a resin hotspur RUC land rover. Looks amazing, but it's £65! That's all I got, sorry.

i am buidlding the same kit i think number 6464 if i remember
but i am building it with all the voyager kits bad idea,don't make modelling decissions after you had beer
it is a good kit in my opinion but i needed an extra set of armor plates to replace yhe ones missing on a befehljager
the command version of the marder so i got me the armorplates and while i was at it all the other ones for.a golden marder
but out of the box it is good already
good luck with your search
cheers.Mark
