Fast build. Minimal PE. I thought the running gear was harder to put together than it should have been due to the instructions not quite showing clearly enough how it goes together.

The tracks are fantastic as they simply click together. I used the recommended amount of links and found them a bit loose. Nothing can be done about that because if you take out one link, the tracks will be too short.

The tank is super tiny. My wife even commented about that. I suppose that's why the base is included. I didn't bother with that, but it looks like it would look nice all painted and muddied up.

The kit itself is not worth the selling price, but it is a very important tank that should be in an armor modeler's collection. If you can find it on sale, definitely add it to yours.
