Album info

Nicely detailed model with lots of parts. Typical kit from this brand and country with lots of parts. The breakdown of parts is made with lots of part but it doesn't add much detailed and make the model more complicated and could create some tricky situations.
Overall, I enjoyed building this kit out of the box.
