| I have the Henschel version, which is pretty much the same aside from the turret. Hatches on the hull (and turret) are molded shut, or the cupola at least has a base inside for the figure. The grab handles are all molded as a big bar. Basically a big version of the 70s 1/35 kit. The lower hull is sheet metal, so there is no detail. This is most noticible on the hull front, as the plastic upper hull has some welds and armor interlock details while the lower hull has nothing. Wheels are stamped metal discs with plastic inserts. Not very detailed. No accessories or p-e as of yet. IIRC Aber is to do a set, though. Not bad but very very simplistic. Glue the side skirts to the hull with liquid glue after they have been screwed in place. When dry, remove the screws and fill the holes. |
