I remember years ago when this one came out. I got the winter one (even though some folks said this vehicle didn't appear in a winter war setting) and was so impressed by the detail throughout, the accessories, and display options. The figure in the turret that came with the winter version is a different pose than the one shown in Duke's fine photo. I believe the set also came with two full figures too. Those were exciting times with great quality, innovation and more bang for you buck than anyone from CS.

Thanks Mike. Yes he does look irritated and is barking out some type of command.

Your post and diorama of this model looks great.
Thanks Joe. Yes TCS has done some great sets including this one. I have lots of them and like the ones that have the different display options like broken tracks, damaged turrets, and like this one where you can remove the tire. The set does also include the two figures on the ground as well as the full figure commander figure in the turret.

Regarding the vehicle itself, it definitely passed the eyeball test for me in terms of fighting in with my K & C armor, although I never physically measured it. I do recall thinking the standing figure that came with the winter version was larger than K & C figures, but the kneeling figure and the one that's seated in the turret (of the winter version) were not so noticeably bigger and are really well posed figures. I hope this helps- Joe
