NIce and easy kit to build

By: mmegee616

Thought this kit was pretty easy to build so would recommend it for even beginners. I used the color scheme for 1944 instead of the one depicted at the 1945 treaty signing. Only problem I had was in misreading where to drill the holes for 4 of the 5 turrets, but made it work. Thought the 40mm AA are not too bad of a look. This kit was obtained in a raffle at our IPMS model club meeting a couple months ago, and the paint diagram was not the original but was for the Fujimi version.

Experience after building

By: JoshuaRSalcedo

Some parts are very hard to install in certain spots and areas thanks to how small they are but on the bright side, there are some extra parts just incase you misplace the first one. Pls note that this kit is not for newbies and beginners.
