This is based on the Leman Russ model and the bits to make that model are included in the box.
The bits to make the Demolisher are included as a number of metal pieces to replace or add to the Leman-Russ bits. The main alteration is the front gun, which is a complete replacement module. There's also a white metal replacement engine cover, which seems to be a bit of an indulgence, but is pretty essential to the completed model as the gun does rather overbalance the model to the front and it's in danger of tipping over if the rear grating is ignored. The sponsons are 'original equipment', but the guns themselves are also part of the replacement kit. The tracks behaved themselves quite well, fitting together quite neatly with no unlikely gaps.
My main panic with this model was the problem I had attaching the shell of the main body of the tank to the tracks as I couldn't get the various bits to marry-up. In the end, I used a very messy mixture of plastic and super glues spread round the connecting areas on the model and a couple of plastic bands holding the three bits in place while everything solidified. Getting the machine gunner to actually look like he's holding the machine gun was a bit touch and go as well (and still not entirely successful!).
This was painted with Catchecan Green and Desert Yellow, applied via the application of a foam insert except where I had to fill in some gaps. The various parts were painted separately and final corrections made to marry up the camouflage across the various parts.
