Kit is OK. Details are not as good as you'd expect nowadays, but that's an old kit. Heller kits are a bit over-complicated but experienced modelers should not have any troubles.

I've built this kit twice. The fit is okay, but the hull is in five pieces and some attention to alignment is necessary. The details are basic, tracks are not very good at all and the turret is not quite the right shape. The instructions are not clear on placement of some small parts, so some skill/knowledge with previous armor kits is a help. Having said all of that, it builds up pretty nice and can look quite good with a good paint job.
