About 20 minutes work was all it took to assemble this Zvezda kit.
Simply part the components from the sprue, all fourteen of them (the fifteenth is for the war game-so not needed). They are extremely well moulded and the detail is very fine. A word of warning, the parts press together and I exerted too much resulting in me breaking the rear axle whilst fitting the wheels.
All is not lost however as the part was just pushed back into position!
The windows are not for glazing, they are moulded onto the bodywork, they will look OK after they get the same treatment as the solid mouldings described recently.
I must say that for the money, these kits are worth every penny, those nice people at Shrewsbury Model Centre offer them for sale on e-bay and I would assume through their shop.
Several other retailers have them on sale so it is worth while spending a few minutes searching the retailers out.
Well, I won't be making the Rocket Launcher yet, I want to see how this one takes paint before embarking on the construction of that one.
