When finished, this is a project worth the time and money. There were a few problems: there was lots of trimming to cut and sand, there wasn't a color chart to detail all the items contained in the interior of the model. The kit did not include the top turret canopy and when I requested one to be sent, I never received an answer. Check all the sprues carefully especially the clear plastic ones. I wanted to paint the surface aluminum, but I wasn't pleased with the finish and went with the olive drab exterior.
