Like the subject and the kit manufacturer.

Looks good so far... think there's still a mold seam visible on the turret, image 20, next to the smoke launcher (right)

Thank Bart - and to be honest, I'm not sure what are seam lines and what are welds. Need to find some good reference photos to verify this.
