As per my usual, the kit was built pretty much straight out of the box, not modifying the kit much other than to drill out the openings in the front bumper, the exhaust outlet in the muffler and add an antenna cut from guitar wire.

This kit builds up nicely. Fit is excellent though it is a bit tight in places. Pay particular attention to the mine blast shield under the body. I found this to interfere with the chassis frame which made the frame twist and skew a bit resulting in a major body slant. I rectified this with some sanding and scraping to relieve the contact point causing the problem.

I was not impressed with the molding of the side windows. They all come with small tabs, which I suppose are there to help position the window into its opening, but in my mind they detract from the overall look of the windows. They also had a habit of breaking off when the window was pushed into its opening leaving a small white mar in the clear plastic. I suppose these tabs could be removed beforehand and the mars touched up with some sanding and polishing, but that seemed like more work than I willing to do. I suppose one way to reduce their presence would be to dirty up the windows a bit to try and hide them.

As far as I can tell, the kit is accurate save for these items that appear not quite right to me based on pictures found on the web.
1. The tire tread pattern is different.
2. The side mirrors should have an upper arm connecting the top of the mirror to the door.

The decals are excellent. Three markings options are given:
1. ISAF, Camp Warehouse, Afghanistan 2005 in black/green/tan camouflage, plate number Y 428 355
2. KFOR, Prizren, Kosovo 2001 in overall green camouflage, plate number Y 428 293
3. Task Force Fox, Operation Essential Harvest, Macedonia 2003 in overall green camouflage,
plate number Y 428 293

I chose the Task Force Fox option for markings. The decals are not quite correct as presented on the decal sheet. The green TFF rectangles lack the narrow white border which I added by placing a slightly larger rectangle of white decal underneath the kit decal.

Pictures of sister TFF Dingoes found at reference [1] show that there should also be German flag markings for the front bumper and on the right rear body panel. I made these from scratch, cobbling together other decal pieces to make the flags. This was quite easy to do since the flag consists of just three horizontal bars of black, red and yellow moving from top to bottom. I also made one additional flag which was attached to a piece of guitar wire used for an antenna and then attached it to the antenna mount at the rear of the vehicle.
