Kamil,it looks very great so far How is the kit itself? As in any fit problems? Also is this the Flak or recon version? Can't wait to see the finished kit :)

That kit is not so bad but definitly not good. It needs a lot of putty- especialy on turret base (my friend, who has the same model have troubles with back wall). There are a lots of details of interior, but some of them can be replaced witr pe parts. And its is a good idea to do it. Exterior parts are not so good- looks like sculpted with axe and warhammer:) Traks are separatly and good detailed. Parts puts together quite well, byt in some of them are little holes etc.. (i don't know how to describe, but i hope so You'll know what i mean) :) I recommend You use Aber pe pars to upgrade that kit. Or aber + eduard.. as i remember in aber set are no fenders.. But i'm not sure.
