Just started this baby and they should label this a “smart kit” as it now includes some great one piece tracks. The running gear is beautiful and again, easy to build. The kit features a slide modeled 75 mm gun barrel which looks like it will be easy to clean up. All in all so far this is a great little kit. A definete must have .
[#ditto] I just started the same kit last week. And agree with the above. The running gear alone is over 60 pieces and goes together like a dream. It even has stenciling stamped on it.
The only issue I had with the whole kit, aside from the wrong color elephants, was the fit of the bolt strip above the transmission cover. Needs a little attention. The rest was fantastic.
My tracks were deformed, so I soaked them in hot water (not boiling) for 3 minutes and they fixed themselves. I was surprised because a couple of the guide teeth looked almost melted before hand. Just don’t get the water too hot as they could wrinkle. I used the hot water tap from our bottled water dispenser.
