@Cortex : I had an already updated Version of Instructions in my Kit. There wasn’t even the paper with corrections anymore. I think, that I‘ve seen way worse instructions, of course some better too.

Anyway. The quality of the sprues and details are very good - and beside RFM absolute top dog. So I think it is well deserved.

This kit does not deserve the 9.28 rating, because of confusing instructions, and ambiguous turret roof equipment assembly.

It's a solid kit don't get me wrong, very good workable tracks, but definitely not 9.28/10. I'd look into RFM kit instead.

the instructions are disgusting, the body is assembled with cracks, the panoramic sight is generally impossible to assemble without surgery, the metal barrel does not fit normally - you have to pervert it

100% agree, I completed my kit because I'm patient.

Be wary, instructions manual have wrong steps for the turret hatches and the mantlet top cover.
You must refer to walkaround pics and videos to get it right, or look at other kits instructions.

Step 15: U24 and U12 are asked to be placed on top of U13, WRONG! U24, U12 should be shifted more to the back.

Step 15:
Correct left hatch parts: P22, U11, U28, U10, U15
The rest of hatch parts are for the right hatch. Instructions got them flipped.

Overall, instructions are not clear and easy to follow even for the correct steps.
