![]() Before gluing him in I moved the gun back and forth and the seat got hung up and snapped when I tried to center the gun. If you leave him out so the gun can move left and right watch out for the seat he sits in. If he is positioned in the tank then the gun barrel cannot be turned to the right only the left. The gunner would have to be thin as a pin to squeeze into the space provided. I have seen in other reviews that most figures are not really scaled to 1/35 and I can believe this now. Also the figures don't really fit in the fighting compartment. Usually I snap them in half, I think I found a solution to this, mentioned in the photos. I have problems cutting thin rod type parts from the sprue (1st pic). But (I always have a but) there were a few things I had trouble with. It's another good model by Tamiya and as mentioned by others has a good bit of detail. I enjoyed building this and I don't really know why. I enjoyed seeing all the detail of the gun and fighting compartment. I look forward to building one of Tamiya other open compartment tank destroyer's. The only thing you might want to add is linked tracks. Here is a list of highlight's: poly cap road wheels, metal shafts used in the gun, single piece molded gun barrel, shell racks open or closed, two types of shells and empty shells also, four crew members in fighting positions, winter or camouflage gear on the crew, extra background information book with three painting details. It feels like you are building a real tank going down a assembly line. Then you assembly the gun separate and add it near the end. The instruction book is big and leads you in the correct direction. This kit is for experienced builders only. PRO'S: Tamiya's attention to detail is excellent in this kit. I enjoyed the open fighting compartment, which show's all the detail of the gun, crew and ammo.
