Excellent looking kit.
 
Very good kit with sufficient details to get an excellent display model. The kit was designed to be motorized, so all the wheels will turn on their axes and the hubs are removable. In fact the upper and lower hulls are held together via pressed pins and can be pulled apart as they are not cemented. All the crew hatches work. The tank crew is well molded and expressive. My only adds to the basic kit are 1) bored muzzle hole to the commander's machine gun, 2) Added a clear glass to the gunner's viewing port, 3) fabricated a working hinge to enable opening and closing the door to the IR illuminator, 4) made 2 tow cables from twisted wires (the kit ones looked terrible) 5) build lamp lenses with UV cured clear polymer cement. My biggest grip about the kit it is the effort needed to get rid of the mold seams. Filing and sanding them away is a pain given the small and irregular sized pieces. Guess you can ignore them, but I felt they detract from the finished product. Overall a very pleasant build with a pleasing result.
