Purchased a while ago but here's the review since I'm reviewing other items too.
This is both one of my favourite real life tractors and models on my diorama; the German manufacturer has once again knocked it out of the park!
The Kirovets' bright yellow paint is perfectly executed as is the jet blakc scheme on its rims, exhaust and interiors. Engine and bonnet has exquisite detail as does the cab and its many features (gear sticks, seats, dashboard displays). The doors are fragile but are opened with ease - I use tweezers. The exhaust cover can be opened too.
Articualtion with steering is excellent - but be careful as too vigorously done, could break the hoses that doin from the front half to the rear. Wing mirrors are very delicate so be careful. Schuco's box is super secure so shouldn't break in transit.
Rear hitch can be lowered and raised, similar to their Belarus K700A model. You can remove the pole attacher and allow certain Siku, Britains, Wiking attachments on the back, although the Kirovets has no hitch.
It looks exclleent with the Kuhn performer cultivator on the back.
Like always, for the last five years, delivery speed is excellent and Brushwood's standard of packaging is great.
