Not a pleasure to build
 
Roden Puma Pros: On the sprues, it looks fantastic. The detail is great, and the molding is very good, for the most part. There is a small amount of interior detail but the turret hatches are not molded open, so they are useless. Lots of equipment for the outside of the vehicle. Cons: in general, Roden plastic parts are very delicate, this model has a lot of micro-parts that break easily, There is a some amount of flash, and there are also some sink marks in very unfortunate places. The instructions are very bad, for example, the suspension of the vehicle is very nicely detailed, but the parts are very difficult to accommodate and the instructions don't help at all, they are very poor and inaccurate. The decals tend to break easily. Conclusion: a fragile vehicle, that with a lot of work looks nice in the end, but definitely not a pleasure to build.
