That's a lovely model inside! :-* Is it a bit rough on the front elevation, behind the forward facing turret?

Lovely; can't wait to see what you do with it.

But there really is not a whole lot of leg room for the squadies in the back, now is there?  lol
Miniatures you say? Well I too, like to live dangerously...

That does look great. I cannot wait to see it painted.

It is a bit of a shame that the model is cut down the middle of the screens. That will take som work to even out. They could have moved the cut a bit to avoid them altogether.

Yes - needs a little sanding to smooth out.

I got three copies of the APC from another source that size wise fill in for the Prodos product nicely. It's a shame though, that they don't offer the unicast Sergeant and squished Alien tokens.  :-[

I am looking forward to your painted version, Dwartist. It will for sure turn out great, like all of your work.  :-*

Details required please. (I will go to any lengths to avoid funding Prodos)

The Galoob action fleet ones. They are expensive nowadays though.

The Cinemachines ones are pretty close in scale as well, though the price on those has rocketed since they went out of stock in most places.

Can't wait to see it finished.  I agree they could have done a little better on the hull split.  They weren't doing anyone any favors.  Just a couple of mm aft and it would have been so much easier to hide.

The Cinemachines ones are pretty close in scale as well, though the price on those has rocketed since they went out of stock in most places.

They're closer for smaller 28mm figs but I think they look too small with the Prodos figs.  if the Prodos APC is too pricey there's also the Khurasan Caiman APC.  It doesn't have all the right details and the hulls a little off, but it's close enough for me:
