Type of kit Castings from varicolored polystyrene
Quality

Castings from varicoloured polystyrene are layed-out into two frames. First of them contains basic patrs, i.e. hull, undercarriage, details e.t.c., the second one tracks. Quality of castings is above-average, with fine and trustworthy details. Outlines faith of model is very accurate. Equipment (tools, boxes) is made separately. Extra pretty they are tracks from hard plastic. Like negative of kit I consider, that whilst driver's cover is separate and has also details on inside, the covers of commander and gunner they are made along with part of hull and who wants to make them separately, he must to cut off them.

Instruction sheet Instruction is the worst part of kit, it contains only lay-out of parts in frames and rather indistinct building progress. About model pattern, camouflage and placement of decalcomania here isn't not even word.
Decals There was no decalcomania in my model (propbably by mistake of producer).
General Impression & Note Very quality model of this "tank killer". I can recommend it for every modeller !
