I picked up a couple (can't remember the exact varients but I got one with add on armor) and they are a blast.
Have one put together (about an hour, hour and a half) and hope to get it painted so I can post photos. I think there were 10 parts but the detail is amazing. The fit was great and I only used a little putty to fill some seems in the hull front - nothing major.
But the one piece track and weel assembly is totally awesome. I can't believe the detail they were able to get into the tracks and wheels at this scale. It's like having indy links without the hassle.
One of the few negatives is that there is only one decal option given and it seems like finding markings in 1/144 would be pretty hard.
My hope is that Trumpeter will decide to do more of these at this level of quality. Considering the soft plastic tracks Dragon gives with its 1/144, I prefer the Trumpeter kits.
