It's a great kit! I built it when it was released, when I was in junior high. The detail was great, and I liked the stick of paratroops included.  And of course, Shep Paine's "Tips on Building Dioramas" that were included in that original release.  I just marveled at his diorama and asked myself, "How'd he do that?!"

Fortunately, we can still see the brochure here.
