First because I asked it as a Christmas gift so the lower price was a reason. Then I had the opportunity to see this version during Eurosatory Arms Exhibition in 2012 near Paris. So I have some useful reference pictures.
To be honest now that I have built a number of new Zvezda kits I often prefer them to the other brands kits. For the money you pay you can’t be disappointed. Of course Zvezda has simplified some details and does not offer movable hatches and things like that. But this is not a issue to me.
