Hi Utoshita.

may be this discussion will be useful for you. there are many pictures of model

Dear All,

I am sorry for not getting back with some more detail on this kit sooner.

Here are some pictures to start with.

Overall the level of detail is very good.

What you get in terms of interior is spartan but enough to allow hatches and doors to be opened.

The tracks are vinyl single length, mine are warped and suffer from imperfect molding with sink marks.

I will soak the tracks in hot water to see if I can get arround the warping issue.

But that is not my first priority.

The main gun seems incorrectly reproduced, maybe this is only since I do not have good reference pictures.

If anyone out there has some detail reference pictures on the main gun please support and share.

With Kind Regards

PS: Picture quality is poor, please excuse!

Dear Gino P. Quintiliani,

There is a basic interior including the drivers position, the turret and the compartment for the onboard soldiers.

Detail is sparse but it will allow you to leave the hatches open.

The periscopes in the turret look OK.

Here is a link to the friends over at Armorama:

And here is a link to Modellers Alliance where they have done some sprueshots:

The sprue shots would be great.  I haven't seen any for it yet.  Does it have the full interior as was billed?  If so, how complete does it look?  I have been waiting to see this kit and am very interested in the interior.
