This kit stands out by incorporating unique features of the C5 variant, such as the turret-rear air conditioning unit, cleaning rod case, and antenna guards. The model can be assembled with or without the winch, offering flexibility in display options. The inclusion of photo-etched parts enhances the accuracy of the turret basket guards, while the masking stickers aid in achieving a precise paint finish.

The semi-pneumatic tires are crafted with realistic surface and tread patterns, adding to the authenticity of the finished model. Builders can choose from two marking options to depict specific vehicles from the 4th Company, Armor School Regiment, or the Combat Company, 1st Reconnaissance Combat Battalion.
