Thanks Aaron, Paul & Tony! It's not bad for an £18 kit!

There's no real catch Aaron. It's a re-box of the Tamiya kit from the 70's which was made more for R/C than as a static display model. So some details are lacking & a few bits don't fit as well as kits with modern tooling.

If I did it again, I'd add weld seams to cover a few gaps & add engine grill covers, but it was a fairly cheap way to get back into modelling after a 14 month or so break.
