Tau Devilfish APC $30
Tau Hammerhead MBT $35
kit by Games Workshop
Devilfish APC

Being a Warhammer player I finally took it upon myself to choose an army of my own, the Tau. Well they are an alien race, bla bla bla, so I got some cool models to build, being the Hammerhead main battle tank and the Devilfish armored personnel carrier. Both kits are exactly the same right out of the box save one sprue for the Hammerhead that has the choice of main guns and its turret.

On the sprue each kit is very well crafted, almost no visible defects. I have partially constructed the Devilfish, so far I've found no bad seams or construction problems, only your choice of a few options like leaving hatches open, a few equiptment options and such. The only noticeable lines are mild mold lines but a file or sandpaper takes care of these. . It also comes with a commander figure you can have looking with his binoculars and a mild interior if you want to have it open. Instructions are short and straight forward. Finally it has a decal sheet of several sects of Tau to choose from and light and dark markings to choose from depending on what color scheme you go with.

I had hoped to make the 2 kits interchangeable completely (for game play configure 2 tanks or 2 apc's or one of each) by buying the turret sprue (available separate for like 6 bucks) and having 2 sets of nose options (they differ from the mbt to the apc) but the way the nose turret is done I'm gonna have to think about it.

Over all, the kit is excellent and is a good indicator of what you can expect from a Games Workshop model.
