This model has been around for many years. On the surface, it looks to be a rather detailed and interesting kit, but what lies beneath is the hidden monster of a buil that it is. I use to have Czech models rated as my #1 most difficult builds, but I do believe Tauro has taken the crown.
I have 6 of these kits in my stash and have just now decided to put one together.
1. Forget about a good fit, as nothing fits as it should.
2. The panel lines and lack of good ingraving stands out on this kit like a sore thiumb.
3. Flashing is all over small parts making it difficult to clean and fit them.
4. The plastic feels to be slick and rubbery, truly an odd feel to the material.
Having said all that, I must admit I am having a good time trying to shape this model into something presentable. It's nice to have a model that basically builds itself, but being a modeler I find a challange excites me and pushes me to work harder. After all, we are modelers, correct?
So, this is a heads-up on this kit. If you see one going cheap on eBay and your up for a challenge, then this is your kit.
