Just finishing up this model. Possibly one of the best Tigers so far. Extremely nice detailing and options. Directions are pretty easy to read and understand. Take your time to study them first so you can have an idea of your process with this tank. PE is great. fits are great. My only complaint is that many of the small tools (shovels, etc) were bent on sprue. Bent beyond usage. Bought German tank tool set to overcome this shortfall. all in all a great kit. take your time. do it right.
