About the kit
The kit comes with two turrets, the larger turret from the BA-6 used on the BA-10 and the later conical turret used on the BA-10m. The wheels are nice but are a little thick for the armorec car. They would be better on a Gaz truck. The armored cars had narrow hard tires. Unfortunately, no headlights are provided. Quality-wise it has multiple air bubbles and some of the ribs on the rear hull are broken off. Other than that it is accurate and should look good when completed.
