On inspection it's not a complicated kit and looks quite well detailed.

Ok not the best sprue pics but you get the gist that they are very well cast and have virtually no flash. A few knockout pin marks to fill on the inner cab surfaces but that's about it. Usual Takom quality I'd say. Knowing bugger all about forklifts & this type in particular to me it looks a pretty easy build.

cheers chaps, yes Paul a smidge of filler is needed here and there, mostly a few sunken areas and ejector knockout spots.
