I've finally started in on this kit for the APC/AFV campaign. It seems to be close to 1/35 scale, maybe a tad undersize but I'm not sure. It is not motorized. There is no interior. The gun ports for the infantry are all in the closed position. The overhead hatches for the infantry section are molded closed. Although the hatches for the driver, infantry commander, vehicle commander, and gunner are separate, there is no interior detail to them (but Eduard makes a photo-etch set for this kit).

Surprisingly for a such a new kit, there is some flash on edges. Trumpeter seems to have done a good job of putting the ejection pin marks on the side of parts that won't show. This is a Very Good Thing as the piin marks are more like Ejection Pin Pits of Doom. They are not only deep but also have a wall of flash rising up around them. If all you've built are recent Tamiya kits, you will be in for a shock.

The kit uses polycaps for the road wheels (but not the sprockets or idlers) and the front part of the hull, just like Tamiya kits. However, the plastic used by Trumpter is much stiffer than what Tamiya uses so you will have to take knife and file to get some to fit.

The tracks are "rubber band" type but they seem to be nicely detailed. This is good as I doubt there will ever be aftermarket tracks for this vehicle.
