This and the Pioneer version have to be the coolest looking 251’s out there. It’ll be a corker in your hands too!

Chaps life is too short to bugger about with an ill-fitting kit. The gun mount and ammo stowage bins just don't fit into the rear compartment. They push the upper part upwards and also don't line up with the hull sides. Kit binned, I'll keep a few parts to use on something else, probably on a Tammy 251.

Sorry to hear that, Paul! But maybe better than trying to battle poor fit.

Damn shame but those AFV club kits can be a bugger.

Sorry to disappoint you all chaps, but this kit is a bloody nightmare. I had been trying to get the thing sorted since Tuesday, but there is no way of getting done and still looking decent. Bert it's too late fella, it has been cannibalized and sent to the big plastic meltdown in the sky Fear naught though, I shall return later this evening with a new entry

Sorry to hear that Paul.
I must admit my 251 has been challenging and I've used a bit of filler here and there because of fit issues. I think I might use some foliage cam to disguise a few issues.
As you say, life is too short.

I had my eye on the AFV club L24 armed version of this on eBay but after watching a few YT videos I thought I would wait and see how you and Andy got on... Suspicion confirmed! New plan needed!

You done the right thing Paul. Life's to short to build things you don't want to.
