This is quite good kit, nothing for beginners, but very nice molded and full of details in this scale.
I have built it right from the box, with no modifications, with no weathering as this was a purpose - it was really straightforward build.
The most difficult part was assembly of protection sheets on the turret and placing some equipment on the right place (it does not look possible in some cases). Overall the kit can be assembled with no problems, everything goes perfectly together, so Revell did very good job with new forms here.
My conclusion - with much more effort and some extra work you can get very attractive and perfect model in this scale.

I couldn't do as well in 35th scale...! Very nice workmanship, ship, sir.

Thank you! π
This was last 1/72 kit, next time it will be 1/35 and I am curious, how much better it will be.
1/72 is too small scale for my hunger for details π

Nicely done Martin. Great camo and the spaced armour looks right.

Martin, this is a great little tank. Your paint work is absolutely superb. I look forward to your 1/35th scale version of this panzer!

Great looking tank! I didn't catch the size until I saw your comment "in this scale," and looked to see it was 1/72. Very nice for that scale!

Thank you! π
It is already 3rd model in this scale, which I built. However, also the last one. This scale is not satisfying my need of details. I will switch to 1:35 and it will be Sherman very likely. I made 3 german panzers and now it is time to get some balance. π
