Hey Stanley, what I like about this kit: the workable suspension. What I dislike: the instructions, the lacking possibility to build different variants, the insufficient surface texture and weld seams, the overall engineering. I got the kit as a present and the Aber PE for 5 €, and decided to make most of it. The kit itself is simply of another age, and you can see it. So no real recommendation, unless you can get it really cheap. Don't forget to buy individual tracks then, you will hate the kit's rubber tracks! Regards, Sebastian

It's a reissue of the 1994 Italeri kit.

Yep, it is. On the plus side, there's no warp on the larger parts.

Yeah I've been working on a VK4501 on and off and combining this kit with the Dragon lower hull and running gear with 2 sets of Ferdinand magic tracks.
