Tichy kits are very well designed with high quality molded parts and exquisite detail, they are also designed for modelers with some experience under their belts. This kit contains almost 100 pieces and the end result is a finely detailed tank car that gives a great sense of accomplishment when completed and is something you will be proud to display on your layout. The brake detail is a real bonus as many cars/ kits lack this feature, especially with the level of detail on this kit. Overall it is a fun build and a bit challenging. Definitely a good idea to read the directions closely before starting and take your time, I spent 4 evenings putting this together.
