Has anyone had any experience with this kit? Is it worth anything, and how is it in terms of parts fitting and (more importantly) how accurately it represents the original?

I wonder how it compares with ZiS-2 kit by Miniart, since I've been planning to buy one on ebay, and have noticed the MSD kit in the local hobby shop. It is noticeably cheaper and on the spot (waiting for parcels can be a lady), which got me thinking.

Thank you.

Thanks, this is another good reason to wait for the Miniart kit.

Even though this review is quite old, and the MSD kits which can be bought now boast being "updated", I've seen comments that it's still pretty much a filejob.
