The kits is mostly decent but some of the locating holes for parts were inadequate or non-existent, so there was a degree of estimation involved, using photographs. Due to the kit obviously sharing parts with other Conqueror kits of this manufacturer, unused holes had to be filled in – the instructions make no mention of them. In one or two places I used suitable replacement parts from my spares collection. I used a metal barrel from Aber (#35L191). This made the turret topple forward so I added a bunch of metal balls at the back to counterbalance it. The gun mantlet cover was put together by scraps of rubber and filler, as none was supplied – it should be really, as I have not seen a photo of the real vehicle without it. Finally, I assembled the Friulmodel tracks (#ATL-172) using 0.5mm diameter brass rod – 100 links per side.
