This was my first tank, and maybe it would be a good first tank for others too (especially since it literally was the first tank!). The parts didn’t have much flash, and the model was well molded. I didn’t have much problem with fit. One thing that was weird was that none of the parts were numbered on the sprues, but luckily they were easily identified by shape. The tracks gave me a bit of grief since I’ve never dealt with any before. If you’re new, form them into a loop before placing them on the tank, and use a heated knife, or flathead screwdriver to melt them together. You’ll know what I mean when you see it in person. Also, if you paint the tracks before putting them on the tank, the paint will flake and get all over the model, so I’d recommend painting them carefully when they’re on the tank. Overall it’s a fun little model with great detail.
