After researching this gun for some time, I started on this kit and was very surprised- every detail from the real life version is incorporated into this kit! To be honest, this was my first Tamiya kit to build. Always been doing Revell kits and - wow! The parts had close to zero flash if any and were very nicely detailed. For a kit at this price I'd consider buying a couple more to do in the n Africa paint scheme and maybe a winter camo scheme. This is the perfect beginners kit if you are looking to do your first attempt at a diorama. I would definitely recommend this kit!!
