72108 BTR-40 The basic one piece hull is not at all bad, with details on both inside and outside, though there was a lot of surplus resin in more or less insignificant places underneath (wheel arches, propeller shaft tube, etc.) which they have made some attempt to grind off with a Dremel with limited success. There was one bubble on the BTR40 hull which was on the top of the hull side, but will be pretty easy to fix. There are a few other bubbles, but they are internal to the resin and should not affect the surface.
The rest of it is pretty awful. Wheels have unlikely tyre tread (haven't checked pics); back axle is moulded in, but front one has to be glued in; 4 seats (one broken) and a winch, I think, to be fixed at the front. The instructions are marked TEMPORARY and are hand drawn and dire, with no indication of what should be supplied in the kit and what you have to make yourself. They show a dashboard and steering wheel, but no sign of them in the box!
