My initial impression is this is a nice kit. Instructions are well detailed. Not a lot of extra flash on the pieces/sprues. Some photo etched pieces are included. Only complaint is that it does not include any interior details that could be seen from an open hatch.

Outstanding detail. Trumpeter has done a real nice job from the parts to the instructions, even the three figures (AV crew)are sharp . The Photo Edged parts are many and very good. I was surprised at just how good the PE parts are. I am really impressed, everything fits well and I would highly recommend this kit.

this is by far the worst model I have had. missing parts, broken parts, warped parts.trumpeter makes great 1/16 scale models. but if this is indicative of their 1/35 scale? that's scary...I was surprised. the wheels didn't even fit. needless to say this one went in the trash. and overkill on the parts, besides missing one sprue, and no sprue for the transparent parts.it would be nice if these were checked before shipping.
