I have a couple on the bench and several more in my collection. I have completed a few of their conversions and currently have a Gephard FlakPanzer and LVT4A in construction. The tracks are very nice on both, but as with all resin require careful clean up. The resin casting quality is generally good to excellent overall and the subjects imaginative.

The instructions are typically a series of pictures with a parts map and parts call outs in the picutres, so you may need a reference or two if you have any questions, but I have found them totally adequate.

If you want to really superdetail these kits, as with styrene, you will want to do some research and note your findings in your own building notes. They are definitely buildable (and I cannot say that for every other maker's resin kit I have accumulated). Dive in and have fun !
