I haven't seen a review on this kit yet so I thought I'd give it a shot. Sort of a 'first look'. It's an interesting little vehicle, an alternative to the usual Volkswagens and Steyr's currently available. A much improved moulding over ICM's earlier releases, with nice crisp detail and some very small and fine parts. The major downside to this kit is that it is a virtual 'pin mark city'! Most of the pin marks are small or will be hidden, but there are several large, but shallow, pin marks on the insides of the body panels which will be visible. And the vehicle can only be modeled with the roof up (which isn't a bad idea considering all those pin marks inside!). So if you want to make a roof down version you'll have to do some research, and a bit of scratch building, and of course, fill those pesky pin marks. Haven't checked the parts fit yet. All in all, looks like a useful early to mid war diorama vehicle.
