Are there any notable problems with this kit besides:
- Mixed up engine deck and rear hull plate
- Bogie wheels too large
TIA,

Turret dimensional issues. Internal ammo stowage.
The muzzle definitely looks off to me.
I’ve definitely go photos of the one in Seoul, and possibly at Cervezas. I think.

Thanks for answering.
I heard about the turret back when the kit came out, but it was kind of a “it looks to me . . .” thing. I also have heard from people who I think have a better eye that it was OK. Now you, you, I give more credence to, because you actually measure stuff. Have you checked the turret shape yourself?

I did not check the shape. I made measurements, as difficult as that was, having to dodge the eyes of watchful Koreans. I was sent, but I always take a tape measure with me anyway, unless I fly with only a carry on - apparently a tape measure makes a good weapon.
At any rate, I was told about issues in both the AFV Club kit, and the Academy kit, and asked to measure certain apsects. I also did so with several armored exhibits, a few aircraft, a missile system, and took photos but could not directly measure the semi-submersible, instead having to walk beside it, as the length of my boot is exactly 12 inches. Nothing came of most of those projects, although I’m told they may be revisited.
