Where to begin? Well, to start with, the sprues are very thick and the many of the parts are very small. This leads to trouble when separating the parts from the sprues. A very sharp Xacto blade will be needed. You will also need this to trim the copious amounts of flashing from the parts. Some are tiny and the only way to trim the flash is with a knife while they are still attached to the sprue. Many parts, such as the steering wheel, mirror, antenna, etc. are out-of-scale. Lots of sanding got them down to a semi-scale look Using wire might be a good substitute. The wheel-wells are not well defined and you will have to round them out. That took a lot of sanding with a rat-tail file, sanding sticks and sanding cloths. I should have used my Dremel. I didn't bother to use the window glazing as it was too thick and would not have fit without another year of sanding, anyway! The fit on the body is terrible. There are no line-up pegs so you need to do the fit by hand. I usually remove the pegs on most models anyway but many modelers will find lining parts up on this kit a difficult task. There was much sanding (and I do mean MUCH sanding) needed to get the body parts to fit and mine still isn't to my liking. I finally gave up and just went with it. Had I taken a lot more time, I could have made the parts fit much better but I was sick of sanding, test-fitting, sanding, test-fitting, ad nauseum!! If you must have the military version of the VWs this company offers, then you are stuck with a long assembly process to get a reasonably good finished product. Be wary, this kit will take time and effort and I am sure you will invent many new curse words along the way!
