This model doesn't fit together well. It leaves large gaps between pieces. I'll need lots of putty to make it look good. Also, the sides just kind of hang there and it looks strange. I'll be using plastic sheets to cover up the sides. I think it will look good when I'm done with the putty and painting, but the way the model is constructed makes it difficult to put together. Would I recommend it? It's the only trench model I could find anywhere. If you need a trench, well, this will do the job. I just wish the design was better.
