Re: [sg] Infantry Skimmer and the nebulous attached file

The 1/48 manufacturer is "Zhengdefu" (just read it off the box I have
here
in front of me).  I ordered one of their kits (M60A1) just to see the
quality--and for use with my 25mm figs.  Haven't had a chance to
assemble it
yet, but it looks decent enough.  And for $8 US,a pretty good deal!

Of corse, the reason I haven't assembled it yet is because I'm
scratch-building a bunch of 25mm sci-fi hover tanks...
