Review - M577 Armoured Personnel Carrier (Leading Edge Games) miniature vehicle from Leading Edge Games
You don't have to glue the front turret and the top turret in place, there's a hole you can put their pegs in.
The wheels are integral part of the sides, so they can't turn, unless you cut them out. The door is also integral, so it won't open, unless you cut it.
The model comes in a protective carry case.
As I've read, there was a version, made of lead, but later it was cast in a lead-free metal.
Based on the reviews, the casting is not perfect, the pieces need some filling to fit.
If they keep the 1/79 scale for the height, it should be 280mm high. However, then the width should be 43mm. Comparing the models, I'd say it's circa 35mm to the top of the chassis, and 40mm to the top of the turret.
