Assembled figures:

Assemling the next figure keep in mind that hands should be fixed first then the leg. Otherwise it would be hard to fix the hand with an MP-40. First fix the left hand then the right.

Unfortunately, this guy lacks uniform detail on his chest. It's not crisp and will probably cause some problems during painting.

Very nicely done. The base and rocks allow you to built a lovely mini-diorama. IMHO, adding some model grass and rocks would work perfectly to connect the base with the rocks and the figures. You would probably need to make the holes in the bases a bit larger and the pins a bit thinner to fix them more easily.

Some views of the built model (looks really nice):

There's wire net on the top of the turret but unfortunately there's no any on the sides and front:

The following picture is taken from the Zvezda website. It is actually the very first image of the model shown to the masses. As you can notice the wheels on this first model are different from the model that went into production. In fact, now they really look like zd kfz 222 wheels (see the photo):

The model even has a running gear!!!

Conclusion:

Pros: Fine model for its price. I bought mine at 2.5 $. I haven't measured it wheather it maches the scale (I'll probably do it later) but it looks really nice. Crisp detail.

Cons: Lack of wire net detail on the turret, can't be built with the wire net open (will need some additional work). Decals would be nice.

Must have.
