All I can say is its big, looks pretty nice. Grey plastic, typical Takom construction with the hull being multi piece. It should go together nicely as most Takom kits do, but I will be extra carefull with the alignment. Colour callouts are in Tamiya and Ammo of Mig. The PE is very flimsy feeling and I have had issues on other kits where it is super easy to kink it if not paying attention. Two colour schemes with a sand and a multi colour cam.
The South African Defence Force, UAE and Oman. It has the same type of multi round simultanious delivery as the Panzer Haubitz 2000. The newest version with rocket assist rounds can reach out 67Kms although it has been able to reach 73Kms.
