I don't have a lot of experience with Lego clones, but what you've shown
here is pretty interesting, especially for us military builders.
Modern Armor isn't my forte, but that appears to be a Type 88 K1A1 South
Korean MBT and it seems that the box bears this conclusion out. The weapon
on the right of the turret should be a M-60 7.62mm machine gun, or a Korean
variant of the same. The antenna-like weapon on the right should be a M2
12.7mm heavy machine gun - it doesn't really resemple one but that's what
the real K1A1 has mounted above the commander's station. The Main Gun would
be a 120mm cannon of some sort, most likely a smoothbore one capable of
accepting all sorts of ammo types. On the box fronts the infantrymen appear
to be carrying Daewoo K1A1 (no relation to the tank) 5.56mm rifles.

| (...) Wow--thanks for the insight. I had gotten as far as "I think it's some kind of gun" when I ran out of military knowledge. I'm eager to receive this item; once it arrives from Hong Kong I'll post a review with pictures. Thanks again, Dave! (22 years ago, 6-Sep-02, to lugnet.off-topic.clone-brands)
