It's nice to have crew provided but these are also on the large side and don't fit all that well if you want a packed vehicle. I didn't bother with the rear stowage as it just makes an oversized vehicle even bigger and also replace the tarpaulins with one made of green stuff after I realised how poorly the provided ones was modelled.
For those interested here's a comparison with the Airfix model

Very nice group. By placing bases with the same size you will avoid the trouble of difference between brands.
Actually the size difference isn't that noticeable in your photo but I know how annoying such things can be!
There may be a (slight) size difference, but you can certainly see the gulf in quality of product! ;)

Nice model though, but if anything the Airfix looks bigger??
Glad you survived the storm. They look really good. I like the green stuff tarps. Is it a height difference, as they do look very similar in the photo?
The Plastic Solider model is (I think) supposed to be 1/72 whilst the Airfix is (again, supposedly) 1/76. This would explain the size difference.
I'm not sure which of the two makes I prefer. The Plastic Soldier has more detail than the Airfix but it is a bit crudely done (compare the two machine guns).
Oops, I forgot to say, if you want a real comparison in quality, Google the Academy 1/72 halftrack :)
