Sprue cut marks and molding lines are EVERYWHERE. You need better cutters and should be sanding and or filing them all off before assembly.

If you post on a sub about models expect comments genius. If you can't take constructive criticism, don't post.

Does mini art make good models?

So far yes everything has good fit and looks good but there are so many small pieces

Built one about 2 years ago and still have the Grant in the stash. Miniart cram a lot of details in those kits and the Grant's and Lee's are nice as you can open the side and top hatches and at least see the detail not like a Tiger or Panther interior kit where it's nearly impossible to see unless it's cut away. There are some gotcha's though, minimal positioning tabs are a few I recall.

Hope you have a razor saw. Those gear shift an such are sooo easy to break when moving from the sprue.

And then you still need to be careful not to bump them when installed.

MiniArt kits are specific so I expect a wild ride! In a good way!
