No shells included. It's definitely worth the wait though, best kit I've ever built. If you've done the Crusader you'll know where it's headed as this is better.
In your opinion do you think it is worth the wait for PE, or go ahead with the OOB build? I have a PE perforated tool box from the Hauler PE set for the Hetzer and a set of Aber PE German clamps I can use.
