Ron,
This particular kit is one of Finemold's best. Molding is outstanding. Exceedingly detailed straight out of the box.
As a kit, it is like a cross between Tamiya's finest molding and a DML box of extra goodies. Fighting compartment interior, indy track links, figures, PE, all included. Two versions.
Instructions are good, but in Japanese with occasional English subtitles.
Colors are called out in English. Nice, complete, Actung Panzer-style interior and exterior diagrams.
Decals for five cannon armed vehicles and three machine gun tanks. China, Burma and Luzon units covered.
The whole thing fits in the palm of your hand, a Panzer I-size vehicle.
The quoted price is also pretty good for this kit.
The Finemolds Type 1, while not as full of features, is a good kit also.
hth,
mike |
