My Bruno arrived this week - and as requested by raycxr here is a comparison of the DML and DiD cannisters.#
I like the DiD one as it is as rugged as hell and has nice handles and clasps, unfortunately it is also too heavy to try attaching a chute and playing with it! It also is missing the chute attachments. Both tubes are pretty much the same dimensions with the DML one being slightly shorter.
The DML version is light enough to parachute and feels strong enough too.It also has the proper attachment D rings for a chute. The wheels and towbar work well, both slotting easily into the fitting points.
The interior of the DML one has the weapons inserts for rifles , which are fixed/glued and a wee bag has the closure clasps for the hinged door which need a gentle touch to fit onto the tube. There is also a sheet of self adhesive marking strips but I think you would be better off simply masking and spraying your own.
The figure comes with a normal set of FJ infantry equipment ( nice early bonesack) and 3 Kar98Ks to put into the cannister. I am liberating some ammo cans and stuff to fill mine out.
