Thank you for this detailed build log. It's on my list of kits to get eventually and this will be most useful when the time comes. Currently doing Panda's Tunguska having previously done their M-ATV. All challenging builds but lovely subjects

HI

I am working my way through this and all I can say is UGH. I think every single part needs some trimming or needs to have a pin removed.

FLASH WOW, for a new kit this is pretty sad. Very hard to determine where the part ends and the flash begins. This is especially noticeable on the radar. In fact if I were to build my kit as is, the upper radar would be a flat face.

Mould shifting, really struggling getting the main radar build. Short shot on many of the supports.

Lots of potential for AM. The drivers compartment, all of the side bins, engine bay and as Jim pointed out, open missile bays.

Tom

I am in the process of finishing my review of this kit and I agree with you Tom. LOTS of flash and a few annoying short shots. It is a good kit, but it makes you work for it rather than being a leisurely build to relax with.

Thank you for the guidance, it was very helpful. Compared to the Tunguska though it was a lot easier, except for the radar dish
