>>8923541And finally a comparison with the Leopard.
Good things about the set:
+ No missing pieces
+ Good clutch/zero loose pieces
+ everything is printed. Inside and outside. There are 6 prints for the drivers compartment alone.
+ its huge
+ full interior
+ price (42€ for 2,2k pieces of that great quality with THAT many prints.. 10/10 if you ask me)
Cons:
- the interior is obviously hidden inside the tank.
Roof of turret and hull can be removed, and while this not that hard, its still annoying.
Its the same as with scale modelling, i built a couple of tanks with full interior, but you only see parts of it if you leave a hatch open.. its just there to make you feel good while thinking about all the details you built, but nobody will ever see them.
Then again, in this case the internal structures gives stability to the whole tank. (could have been done with black bricks too though).
- minifigures do not wear tank uniforms
- 3 weapon sprues were included, only one with german weapons (2nd is US rifles, 3rd is chinese weapons like the big curved sword they carried in ww2)
-the front armor panel is only kept in place by 4 studs. The tank should not be moved while putting pressure there. Sides are very well connected though.
- the gun barrel is very heavy, but at the same time its kept in position by a clever roof construction that slides underneeth the back of the mantlet to hold it from dropping down.
