MODEL KIT MIN35162 - Miniart 1:35 - Pz.Kpfw.III Ausf.B

There's a lot about this kit that is wrong. The engine deck is completely wrong. The turret had no internal basket. There's also detail missing on the front deck.
I also question the manufacturing process, with lots of parts that are broken down into multiple pieces for no good reason, making construction more complex and creating more opportunities for mistakes. The plastic is both soft and brittle, so it's easy to break parts or cut away too much.
This kit should only be attempted by an advanced builder.

B-24L
While Minicraft labeled this a B-24L, it isn't. It's simply a repackaged B-24H/J. The B-24L was characterized by a ring turret in the plane's belly, as opposed to the ball turret. It also had several different kinds of tail guns, most commonly the stinger tail, occasionally the Emerson turret this kit shipped with, and sometimes just open mounted machine guns. Also, most B-24Ls were Ford planes, with a different window configuration up front.

Breaks easily
Be careful how you store it, because thr package won't protect it, and it breaks easily. Fortunately, it also fixes easily.
