It is a shame that they put 1/35 scale models on the box top.

I didn't just visually observe this kit, but actually assembled it. Subject interest aside, this kit has very poor axle and wheel fittings in the bottom area with unclear instructions. The top and bottom part of the gun turret also has poor fitting such that the front sloped area has a "gaping mouth" that corrections are required to close the gap between the two halves. The smaller parts such as the chaff launchers and the antenna holders have relatively large connected gates to the sprue tree so details are lost after you nip it off.

The box art of this 1/72 kit shows a photo of the 1/35 version of same subject. No clear parts in this 1/72 version, so wind screens are opaque. Misleading to say the least.

If you want to enjoy the process of assembling a precisely molded and detailed kit over a relaxing afternoon without unnecessary corrective works, despite its relatively small parts count, this kit is not recommended.
