I know it is probley not as good as a Tamiya kit but I think it has an interior and how good is the interior? Does it also come with an engine then?
Thanks
Evan

I remember the kit was mentioned years ago and "not as good as the Tamiya kit" is a vast understatement. The kit was described as no good, and the interior wasn't accurate either. Try to find an aftermarket interior if you need one.

Here's a comparison review on the Skif, Tamiya, Esci, and Trumpeter versions.

Not worth spending any amount of money on! The kit really is rubbish. Ive not examined it dimensionally but the details are soft and it will take a lot of work to improve. The interior is far from perfect either, very basic and very poorly detailed. This kit really isnt work buying for the interior if thats what you're planning. Tamiya is still the only way to go, CMK make a decent interior set as well. Both cost money but you pay for what you get....

I don't recommend this kit at all. Apart from flawed geometry, one is likely to find chunky wax like plastic with lots of mold imperfections inside the box. If you absolutely must have one of Skif's kits then go for their MT-LB or BMP-3.
Just my two cents
