Looks great!

Very nice work Guy. I don't know why, I always thought this kit was a reboxed Italeri tool, but checking, I now see I was wrong. So I assume the usual Tamiya crispness and precision fit?

Łukasz Gliński
Nice one 👍

Guy Rump
Many thanks Kyle, Neil P and Lukasz for your kind comments. 👍
@Neil, in the main, all the parts fit together quite well. There was little or no flash.

The undercarriage and armaments have now been added. 🙂
