Markus,the fit is not bad, I give weak 4 out of 5. Worse with quality. The manual has a lot of errors, some elements are broken, they are still far from Tamyia or Trumpeter ...

I have the earlier non-IP Version of this kit. for me the weakest point are the track links. The sprue connectors are badly placed for cleanup and at least my kit had extensive sink marks in the tracks links. Otherwise I found the kit to be ok. Still not finished mine, because I keep loosing motivation if I have to work on the tracks. Don't know, if there are after market tracks for the early versions.
