This kit was impressive. There was little to no flash on the parts, everything lined up and basically fell into place. The instructions were fairly easy to follow. Like all Hobby Boss kits, there was a small photo etch fret supplied. Highly detailed and easy to put together. A set of after market tracks can set this kit apart from the others. I would highly recommend this kit to any skill of modeler.

Well produced kit. Lots of detail with cleanly made parts. Well packaged.

The Model itself is not for beginners. The instruction sheet is helpful but not detailed. Therefore at some places, you have to guess and figure out yourself. In terms of material, the plastic is not as thick and solid as I would have imagined. It bents easily and very soft. Maybe some people would like that quality anyway. When glue the pieces, you may have to have some extra effort, as some pieces are very crude and may require additional trimming, otherwise, they won't stick together. Overall, the make of the model has a lot of room for improvement. I think Tamiya would make a better model.
