It looks very smart with the blue light unit fitted.

I think the newer low profile one painted black will look the best. I thought the lights were a DS item you could order separately similar to the water motor?

. I wish they wouldn't be so cheap and just use the stickered version,

I too wish they stopped cutting corners, I really like the motor and gas fill hole type of details Geobra is capable of featuring and god knows I am willing to pay the difference, many times  :P
If you hear the sound of the bell which will tell you that Grigori has been killed, if it was your relations who have wrought my death, then no one in the family will remain alive. They will be killed by the Russian people. :prays:

No, only available as a spare part, at least that's so in the UK.

In the other "special" - the 5008 mountain rescue one produced in Europe - they kept the rear view mirrors, opening engine compartment and motor block.

Personally, I can do without motors, blinky winkies and such... Only serves to increase the price, and we use it like.. once. Maybe.

I saw this and the helicopter at TRU last night and got one of each. Now I have to watch the budget more, I appreciate the $20 price more than I miss wingmirrors and gastank filler flaps.

One oddity is that the back seat klickies have to crawl over the too case to get out, since there are no side doors, real or moulded. Not ideal when you';re carrying an assault rifle.

It was the assault rifle that really caught my eye.  As someone said above, Hans Beck would not be pleased, but I guess we're on the way to a full set of small arms now. They may not do actual modern soldiers, but we have all the weapons to start a small war.

... i keep looking at this machine gun and special policeforce and thinking its time to create a modern army and leave all those bloody arrows, swords, bayonnaites , musketes and all that junk behind and create an E.L.I.T.E force armed to the teeth with machine guns, vehicles, helicopters and stuff  :love: :love:.. and of course there will be a modern day iseroth  :love: :love: :love: :love:
