The casting, paintwork and graphics are of a very high standard. There is no doubt this is a high quality model.

This is a precision model and is good value.

Summary

Sword have presented another very high quality model which has great detailing and interesting functionality.  Particularly pleasing are the small things which can make the difference to a model.  The provision of tie-down chains and the means to fix them on the deck of the flatbed means it is possible to produce some excellent realistic poses which look great in the display cabinet.
