Medieval Knight 1:16

Subject of my next project is a figure of Medieval Knight from MiniArt in 1:16 scale. Kit was bought at Midlands Air Museum Model Show back in July and will be built as a gift. The box contains three frames with parts, over 50 components altogether. Assembly sheet for the first glance looks great, but after second look I had some trouble identifying certain pieces as it is not a diagram usually provided with model kits but more of a painting guide showing only front/back of the knight (actually cover art picture). Box art shows the knight in rest position with war hammer & shield, in my kit I had received halberd instead (not all components provided within this kit are listed on the assembly sheet), also right arm was bent at elbow. Quick look online made me realize it was one of 3 or 4 different kits sharing number of parts with only minor differences.
