This is an excellent tank kit and is several years old in the photos. I had no problems in the construction of the model as all the parts were flash free and had a good fit, just watch the line up of the suspension as it is a little complex. I researched the tank's history from the last of WW2 through the Korean War and found that it was not perfect but it obviously appealed to the Communist forces present in Korea as seen in my diorama. The kit was fun to build and of course display with many left-overs from WW2, not hard to detail with everything found on tanks of that era. I highly recommend the kit to anyone with armor experience.
