I like the ZTL. I have a ZBD, in my stash and know of another vehicle HB produced using the same chassis. These kits are a nice stop-gag for more expensive kits.

If only the PLA had a more decent and easy camo to paint them. These HB kits are great and fun to build.

I enjoy masking digital camo.

The digital camo is just for parade, they have a typical three color camo scheme suggested in the kit.

Yes. I don't believe the ZBD even has the digital camo depicted, though it has been some time since I looked. You could make whitewalls for a parade version. I have seen photos of both shined tires and whitewalls. Not really sure of Chinese doctrine.
