Hey Peter.
On the whole its a nice kit. There is a little interior turret detail and the underside of the hatches have some detail. A respectable out of box kit.
The barrell needed some triming as it didn't quite line up but on the whole nice fit.
Little heavy on the engine cover screens but an aftermarket kit would take care of that. There is a "simple detailed" engine block if you wanted to open the engine hatches. More a shape than a detail I guess, enough to say "hey, that's an engine block". Overall there are a few areas that needed some gap attention but these were minimal and what I would consider acceptable. The tracks are individual links around the drive sproket and return wheel but have "lengths" for the rest. These are relatively clean and look good. There is some necessary trimming on the positioning tabs for things like the smoke can brackets and the extra track stowage brackets on the foreplate of the hull. Some of the small pieces had some sink marks but these were easily filled.
All in all I would say this is a nice kit and with a little detail work and some aftermarket would make a nice showing if you wanted to put it in competition. The model is a very good canvas to start from for that type of thing. I reccomend it. Even OOB its a nice little kit. Keep an eye out. I will have pics up soon.
