The model of the H-van is not a great deal at all. It really is disappointing. It misses its scale (1/21 is ok), it is simple, you can open the front doors and 1/3 of the rear doors. There are H-vans in 1/43 which can open all three rear door parts. It is disappointing from the undersite, too. Don´t know why Solido produced this model the way it is.
