Hi Rowan,
yes, previous kits in this series really do snap together quickly without glue but are still nicely detailed. I particularly like the look of the correct pattern early inner gear doors on these shots and the gear bay detail with the cannon barrels and waffle pattern wells.
Here's my 'snap -together' 1:72 Zvezda Friedrich from last year which took me rather longer than 15 minutes to build, but still..
