Easy to build, but very impressive

Very nice kit, easy to build, needs a little sanding, but nothing special. The only major work was on the tower, because I wanted it to be rotateable, but with a drill and some sprue bit, it was done about in 10 minutes. I built my as an Executive Outcome vehicle, so I left a few parts behind on purpose. I'm quite happy with the final result, absolutely recommended kit.
