I built the 1/72 Hasegawa kit years ago and I found it pretty darned decent so I wonder how this one will compare. I swapped-out the stock railcar wheels and axles for a complete HO set and can run mine around the railway layout. Think of it as hobby synergy.

This is nothing more than a reboxing of their 1/72 Morser Karl kit (82905 if it's the late version as it appears in the CAD, or maybe it has both versions, early and late) with the railcar kit (82906). All these kits are from 2007-2008, they're just bundled together now.
I've built them back then and they were a very decent kit. Basically the scaled-down version of the Trumpeter kits.

Thanks for the info; then the Hasegawa kit will do just fine. I have yet to build the massive 1/35 Trumpeter kit (00209) and look forward to finding enough space on my overloaded work bench to do so.
