I built the Type 85 kit some time ago. Appears to be molded in ABS plastic, and while I had no issues building the kit, the motorozation features are rather intrusive, and the road wheels attach via screws which are unfortunately quite visible after construction (no success in finding photos of the hubs either!). Figures are dreadfully poor, and the cannon appears to be a Rheinmetall 120mm when I think it should be a 105mm. Overall not the greatest kit, but I think something pretty neat can come from it, which is why I keep it around. I'd like to detail it up and replace a few parts, but references are hard to come by...

Damon.
