Frank, the packaging is extremely well done (see george's comments as he checked all his pieces before sending them off to his customers). George did not detect any breakage in any of the models.
It might be necessary to bend some of the rails in place.
If you bend metal often enough, the paint might come off.
It is not a perfect model and it could be much more delicate, but that would have certainly increased the probability of damage to the model and the price. It is a very good compromise and I hence can recommend it.
I like the looks of it and adding the soldiers will dress the model. I also prefer the grey version to any camouflaged version. There can be no doubt: this is a serious piece of equipment and I am very happy, I have it in my collection.
This is my first Figarti piece (thank you, Rick and Carlos for an offer that could not refuse with the Moerser) and I am very happy with it. Will Figarti replace my favorite manufacturer of TS - I do not think so, but I will supplement my collection with Figarti, no doubt about it.
