The quality of the castings are very high and i didn't find any bubbles or defects whatsoever, and the level of detail is also very high.

the resin parts

All the parts together, what needs to be done is sanding the surfaces that are to be glued, but it is a minimal job.

It's a beautiful kit and they also have a set with a house and the waterpump, so you can make a nice scene with some paratroopers posing infront of it /components/com_kunena/template/default/images/emoticons/113.gif
