Not good. Ammo locker impedes turret rotation. ZM botched it big time!

All the view ports are solid styrene, a shame really for a kit that boasts a "full" interior. Oh well...

seems like a nice kit. Are the "cutting-grooves" on he sides of the armoured plates casted or did you make them yourself?

The kit, not bad but not great, is strongly reminiscent of the 1990's Dragon kits both in terms of plastic and molding quality. Nicely detailed but sadly full of ejection and sink marks. The grooves - armor plates interlocking - are from the kit.

Haven't even considered it, it's just clear plastic rods cut to size.
