I've put it together but not painted it: It's a nice kit and apart from one disappointment I like it a lot. Full review of the kit on the blog and I'll post some pics of it when I get it painted, hopefully soon. link

28mm, based on the comparison to a Warlord model in his blog post.

The lack of detail on the inside of the tracks is a real shame, it looks to spoil an other wise real nice model

Yeah, the tracks are the real let down as you can really do a lot of other stuff right. I think they were trying to do the earlier pattern tracks where the "waffle" wasn't so pronounced, but the interlocking tracks are visible in the earlier pattern too. The two versions of the road wheels are accurate and really nice and the only way you could really mix them would be to do the wheels separate from the tracks which I don't really need. The different gun mantlet patterns are great as are the two different turrets. You can build a lot of tanks that look perfect for '41 or '42 from this kit.
