This kit was a real pleasure to assemble and paint. Parts fit very nicely together and needed a minimum of putty to seal gaps. The detail of faces, uniforms and weapons is extremely good, much better than some of the older Tamiya figure kits I've done. Overall, I would highly recommend this kit. Even though it is slightly more expensive than kits from some other brands, the high level of detail and quality of parts makes it well worth the cost.
