will someone do a build up review of this one? I built some Panzershop kits years ago and I was disappointed about the casting quality, especially all the cylindrical parts. I wonder if they have improved their casting quality.

That test build in the photos looks great. For that much money though i'd want quality to be assured. What a neat looking beast!!!

With the bottom falling out of the Euro (currently almost 1-1), the price seems a bit skewed at $225 even with Friul tracks included.

Also, is it me or does the kit barrel look narrower than the real one in the photo?
