The set includes plastic tracks – individual links and clear parts for periscopes, as well as photo-etched parts to enhance the realism of elements such as handles and ventilation grilles.

• Category: Plastic model kit
• Difficulty Level: 4/5 – recommended for advanced modelers or intermediate builders experienced with photo-etched parts.
