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.
-
Forget about a good fit, as nothing fits as it should.
-
The panel lines and lack of good ingraving stands out on this kit like a sore thiumb.
-
Flashing is all over small parts making it difficult to clean and fit them.
-
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.
