This review is from: German 12.8cm Tank Destroyer L-61 Sturer Emil Selbstfahrlafette Model Kit by Trumpeter (Toy)

I purchased this kit primarily because I was looking for something different to build something other than Tiger tanks, Panther tanks, and Sherman tanks. Lets be realistic; you can only build so many of those tanks no matter how many different versions there are or how much they may be your favorites. This kit is definately something different. I am pretty knowledgeable on German WW II armoured vehicles, but I did not know that this vehicle ever existed. So my educational value from this kit was exceeded. This kit practically builds itself. Very few, if any, fit problems. Quite a few small parts, so be careful. About the only bad comment I can give is that the road wheels are multi pieces, at least three parts per wheel. That made no sense to me, but I wasn't invited to the board meeting when the manufacturer designed this kit. The track shoes are just a little to long, so all you "professionals" will want some after market tracks shoes. This kit is great out of the box. I used an after market gun barrel on my kit because I thought that it looked much more menacing than the kits gun barrell. I forgot about the weight difference of the after market barrell (it would not sit properly) and had to glue it in place. Some crew members would have been nice also.
