Cannot believe I didn't review this kit. Sorry Hobby Linc but local store had this mis-priced so I really couldn't resist. My first RYE model and yes pretty impressed by dies and the small details on the model surfaces. The boom arm a little tricky but with some degree it worked well and got the pulley system to look realistic. I could see where you could actually make it work but one tiny part and I had no choice but to make it static again. Started a trend on WWII recovery vehicles so on the hunt for a few more by other manufacturers even to recreate a recovery diorama. Now there is a thought!
