Is this kit any good? I know that they make fantastic Hellcats,etc but I heard the 105mm was not that great and wanted to do the 8 inch. Anyone know anything about it? Thanks!

Ironside does the Long Tom and 8 inch in the same kit, lots of resin. It's on clearance at one of my local shops

Made it about a year ago - can't see any problems compared to pics and drawings, and it goes together without any probs. Good kit.
