This is an impressive tank once finished. Great detail all around which I have come to expect from trumpeter models. It includes rubber tracks and lots of tiny pieces that need to be placed on. You need to have a lot of patience to be able to glue all of the 70 or so pieces that don't measure more than 3mm to the sides of the turret. Even though it's a pain to put these pieces on it has and undeniably great appearance once the turret is finished. You will need Tamiya extra thin cement if you want a clean look on this model because almost all other plastic cements would be near impossible to work with on this model. If you are looking for a simple and easy model to build I wouldn't recommend this for you, but if you want an impressive tank that takes time and effort to make; look no further.

he kit consists of 294 parts (according to the specs) molded in light gray and presented on 5 parts trees. The track is vinyl and nicely detailed. One fret of photo-etched details round out this kit. The exhaust layout on the rear of the hull is very similar to the Panther. Conversely, the upper hull looks like an interesting hybrid of the Panther and Tiger designs though hatch layouts are simpler. No decals are provided in the kit as the tank is notional and so is the Desert Yellow over Brown scheme the color profile depicts (though it is quite appealing).

Excellent looking kit King Tiger brother of course never made just a paper tank
