Although this is a MENG kit, it was not at all easy. The nature of the vehicle design, makes it difficult to assemble the separate sections.
The kit comes with some interior detail, just enough to tease you into leaving the hatches open. It seemed accurate from the museum photos I found. The real noticeable missing feature for the Canon version is the shell racks behind the driver.
Tools were nicely detailed but required attachment with small bits of photo etched straps on the hull side. This is enough to drive me crazy but I managed.
The most difficult part was the sing assemblies which secure the track sponsors to the hull. First off, the springs provided, intended to allow realistic movement, were way out of scale and needed to be replaced with wire.
Tracks are easily assembled and snap together allowing them to be workable. Fitting them tightly around the wheel assemblies isn't too easy. Not the fault of the kit, but the actuality of how the subject was engineered.
