So far I've managed to put the hull of the kit pretty well together and have found it a really nice model. Up to par with the rest of this company's quality kits that are sold for a real good price. There's also a PE sheet included to add some really small parts to it here and there. The only thing I'm doing different is adding brass grab handles instead of the plastic ones, as I can never get a good clean cut while removing those things from the spures, so to save the aggravation, I'd just as soon make my own.
I found there is some occasional flash--no big deal to remove-and the parts are a little heavy on the moldings in certain areas, at least when compared to the Drgaon Pz. IV I'm also working on. Now I'm sure there are all kinds of inaccuracies to it as far as the rivet counting crowd is concerned, but for builders like myseslf, who build most all of our kits simply OOTB, without any concern for the 'perfect' model, I find it a quite enjoyable kit to build.
Anyway, just thought I would post a short note on this kit if anybody out there is thinking about picking one of them up in the future.
Thanks and take care, Sgirty
