Very realistic
There was absolutely nothing that I didn't like aboout this product. I enjoy model making and although it was a little tedious to put together, it really turned out really great and is extremely detailed.

Not a simple project
Be warned this kit is not for kids, beginners or the faint of heart. There will be a lot of work to do before you can start assembly. The casting leaves some to be desired. There was missing metal on the wheels and other parts. But can be fixed with filler before painting. To complicate things the axle is concave. Making sanding a challenge without removing the molded in wood grain. Overall it's a good kit. Just don't expect to throw on some paint, glue and call it done.

Poor casting.
The gun casting was horrible , all of other castings looked good, I haven't started yet, undecided if I want keep it or not.

Fun model
This model forces you to take your time. I enjoyed building it. A rotary tool with a wire wheel is very handy.

Worth taking your time.
This is an outstanding model. Only some of the casting is rough but I expect that from metal and plastic models as well. I do not know what others expect. Met my expectations. Nothing to rush. If you take your time you will be rewarded with an outstanding model. Have adequate files and sharp knives. Emory paper helps to smooth visible surfaces. Highly recommend J-B weld to put it together. 5 to 10 hours? No way, take your time. Use good paint. Right now waiting on response from company for missing part. If not I will spend the time to fabricate an elevation screw. It is worth the time.

Nice model, but not an easy build.
Turned out to be a nice little model, however the claim of 5 to 10 hours to assemble in my opinion is highly optimistic. I've been modeling for years and tho I didn't keep track, I'd estimate I spent a good 25-30 hours on construction. Not for beginners.

I do think it takes better than average modeling skills to achieve a presentable model
My kit arrived with a missing parts issue. Model Expo was very helpful in getting the issue resolved and the missing parts sent out. As for the kit itself... I do think it takes better than average modeling skills to achieve a presentable model. This is NOT for beginners.
