Does anyone know the model size difference between the New Leman Russ Kits and the older Mk VII Kits or if there is even a noticeable difference aside from the extra variant bits?

their both the same size, I have 2 old ones and 2 new ones sat next to me at the moment :3

Yeah, they're the same size. The biggest difference is that they're a lot easier to put together.

That and some of the details are slightly different. They look basically identical sitting next to each other.

The turret ring is smaller on the new ones, but same general size overall.

The turret is a bit bigger, hull is the exact same size, as is the barrel for the battlecannon, really it's a relatively minor difference.

The big change really is that the new kit comes with more weapon options, is *WAY* easier to put together, has no accessory sprue kit (that's $15 extra) and costs 25% more than the old one did

What makes the old kits so hard to put together?

Not so much hard, as repetitive. First glue in the wheels, then lots of small trak segments, repete for each side. Do it five or six times and you go crazy

Any side-by-side pics?
