I've got this already. It seems very toy like to me, more so than many of their other most recent releases. I think the paint job quality has something to do with it. The details are ok, but could be better. I'm debating whether to sell it or keep it. I'll get some photos posted over the next day or two.

It seems, from the picture provided, that it is lacking in detail and crispness. I do not even have 1 IXO vehicle in my collection because of their quality is not up to my standards. I also understand that the price is not cheap either. The one thing that I like about IXO is the various type of vehicles that they produce. However, I am interested in IXO's panzerwerfer42 (normandy).

I was pleased with the IXO 5.Pz Pz I B, I found the scheme to be correct too, it's in the Polish Militaria book on the Pz I in the color plates.

I don't think that Altaya will be very pleased knowing that their AFV (sold under their name) are known by another brand (even if that is who manufatures them) :D

What is consistent in their three collections is that some models are very good, same bad..... :( (do notice that I don't think they have "excellent" models nor "very bad" models but this is a personal opinion). They do have models that no not exist, otherwise, in 1/72.

Do you know that there is a "spin off" from Altaya in Poland? they do have models that do not appear (so far) in any of the Altaya collections:
