Very cool kit!

By: davisajacobs

This kit is outstanding and is on par with a Dragon kit! I love a good Panzer 4 kit and I am very picky about them. This one blew my expectations away! I really recommend this kit to all skill levels!

Great kit

By: jeremy.s.michels1

This is a great kit from Tamiya. The details are nice and crisp. As with any Tamiya kit I have built, there is very little flash, always a great fit and the instructions are very easy to follow. I was a little disappointed by the rubber band tracks as I feel you get better detail out of molded plastic ones, but they are the kind that can be glued together with plastic cement. I'd recommend this kit to anyone, as the only thing I saw wrong with the kit were personal preferences.

A bit disappointing...

By: travis.getz

My kit didn't include the armor plates to hang off the frames on the sides. This was a disappointment because I had another tank kit of this type (the H version) that did come with them and really enjoyed weathering them up. I guess if it isn't on the box art, one shouldn't assume they're included (but seriously Tamiya, why NOT include them?). On the upside the details are quite nice and I really like how the figure looks in the hatch.
