Been hesitating for a few years on purchasing these 1/100 scale armour "kits" from Zvezda. Read good & bad reviews, but for 8 bucks decided to give it a try.Pro's: very easy to assemble; good details given the small scale (about the size of a matchbox); easy to paint & weather to make it realistic; good for wargaming (which is obviously what they're designed for); cute-looking (yeah, I know it's a brute-ugly Soviet tank; but the size just makes you go "awww" as it smashes through a to-scale fence & blasts away the side of a barn).Con's: brittle plastic which makes removing from the sprue difficult; over-priced (even at $8) - reckon these should be no more than $5, tops.Glad I didn't buy a stack of different models, just the KV1, KV2 & IS2. As the famous movie says "for a few dollars more" you can buy a 1/35 scale Zvezda kit that blows these away at maximum range.Am I happy? Yeah, but kinda feel daft for thinking they were more value than they turned out to be. Enough to say I didn't send 'em back but made irrespective of the whinge.Buyer beware.
