This is a great kit for beginners into military vehicles. Parts fit is excellent and the instructions are good enough to get the job done (at least the English version of them are). There are a LOT of extra pieces, parts, equipment included that allows you to customize its look to fit your every whim - there are almost more of these pieces than the pieces of the tank itself. There are not a lot of decal options included in the kit, but in reality, Russian tanks had very little markings on them during the war, so the kit is really period accurate. I also liked the history of the tank, its development, and its uses that take up the back half of the instruction sheet - very informative and a real history lesson on this Panzer-Killer. In its price range, this kit can't be beat IMHO.
