Jv Just got mine today after ordering it almost 1year ago
Very nice kit considering the tool is from 1977
Very nice detail
I believe it can build up to a very butiful model if lots of work is put in
All parts will need a fair bit of clean up for flash and fitments looks like
could be a challenge
The tyres have a bit to wish for
But all up I will say at the cost of the kit
I can recommend it
Even tho I won't get a second one

Jv Its an old tool from gakken from 1977
At the time gakken was probably one of the best kits you could get
Times have moved on
A new tool kit today is much better
Because what is possible whed tools today
This kit is alot more work then other kits
But sure it has great details and can become a butiful build
Its also an inexpensive kit considering the scale and detail
Some 1/24 kits I got cost more
I think this kit will take time to build
Other kits will be much easier to build
I am happy to have it in my stash
But won't be a kit I will look forward to build
Some othere kits I have got more then one of Because I think thay are
Great kits and will be fun to build
I may never build this one
Cortex Be wary, instructions manual have wrong steps for the turret hatches and the mantlet top cover.
You must refer to walkaround pics and videos to get it right, or look at other kits instructions.
Step 15: U24 and U12 are asked to be placed on top of U13, WRONG! U24, U12 should be shifted more to the back.
Step 15:
Correct left hatch parts: P22, U11, U28, U10, U15
The rest of hatch parts are for the right hatch. Instructions got them flipped.
Overall, instructions are not clear and easy to follow even for the correct steps.
