Being a beginner at this hobby, I'm really pleased with Zvezda's products, and this kit is no different. I cut and assembled the kit in about 10-15 minutes. No problems whatsoever. I will be purchasing more of these to fill out my German army.

My son tore through building a whole platoon this weekend. Ages 10 & up, indeed! I think he did them in 10-15 minutes each. The parts clean up well when you cut them free. The tracks are especially easy to do. I recommend a little bit of glue on these to close up the gap between the two upper parts of the hull before you paint. I'd like to see Zvezda do a little more from later in the war, or at least some infantry. These tanks are great for building up a quick wargaming force.

Small model, easy to assemble. Even with painting camo, model will be finished in a few hours. Well worth the sale price.
