Well, here we go - a largely OOB construction of the AFV Club model - wish me well!
15 sprues of (two tones) of sand coloured plastic, 1 clear sprue, 7 rubber tyres (urgh - to be replaced with resin!), small, well-detailed PE fret with very fine radiator grille, length of fine cord, and a separate bag with four of the most absurdly small metal pins (<1.5mm) , decal sheet with comprehensive placard coverage, BUT no instrument decals(!), detailed and clear instruction sheet with four colour schemes, and a freebie 'poster' of the box-top illustration.
First impressions are plastic seems relatively soft but has well-defined details, some very fine parts with several moulding stubs, relatively few problematic ejection marks (more later), no flash to speak of but otherwise it appears to be a good, clean model that will challenge but produce a fine model - not a first-timer model though I think!
