Review and recommendations:

The Panzer Art RE35-464 set is highly recommended for intermediate and advanced modelers who already have experience working with resin (experience with sanding and proper fitting is advised). This product significantly increases the realism of a BTR-40 model and is especially suitable for dioramas depicting Soviet and Arab forces during the Cold War era. We rate the build difficulty as 3 (on a scale from 1 to 5).
