Hey Seb, that is a very full box of plastic, but it's such a shame the rocket launcher is out of scale with the rest of the model. It's like the launcher part of the model is 1/32 scale? They also got all the tread plate on the chassis completely wrong because they copied a static display truck which had tread plate bolted on to cover the chassis up. It also has many steering parts missing, as do all the Trumpeter MAZ kits. I bought this model, then noticed the issues.. I ended up building the Meng Smerch instead.

Didn't know about the scale difference, will check it when I build it

[@NigelsModellingBench]

@@DutchModeling just look at how high the rocket tubes sit in relation to the drivers cab and firing room. Saying all this, I prefer the Trumpeter method of tube assembly. The Meng is built up in sections, Trumpeter is one long tube.

@@NigelsModellingBench seems not to be the problem. The head of the real tubes is always leans downwards compared to the model, which is straightened.
