Overall this kit will build into an impressive kit in the larger 1:16 scale. The fit of the parts is very good with just a few areas needing attention during assembly.
There's not much clean-up needed on most parts, there are only occasional pin marks but mostly very easy to deal with.
The kit has some nicely done details such as the suspension and running gear with the metal tracks being a very nice touch that will bring considerable realism.
Please note that since this model is intented to be full R/C, the driver's compartment is closed by a plate to provide room for the supplied motor.
This leaves you with the option to recreate as I did this area though nothing in the kit is provided to do so.
The Sd.Anh.1 cargo trailer is sold separately.
As with any other kit, there's room for improvement by adding finer details as you wish.
