Like most kits from this manufacturer, the parts have excellent detail and have very little or no flash. The instructions were clear, and the fit excellent. It's a very big model and made a great centerpiece of the diorama I made. I wish there had been more guidance about the colors of the actual unit during WWII pictures now are far different due to time and refurbishment . The subject is an unusual break from the planes, ships, and tanks I usually do.
