Thanks!

They've closed the sponsons!!!

Gee, I will get this one when I finish the ten I current have on the shelf!

tell me those tracks are temporary, installed for the photo shoot... thy look really really bad....

Nice looking kit. The figure has the look of a certain tank commander from a recent movie???

They look like the usual Tamiya vinyl tracks, and likely what you will get in the kit.

Looks good to me but then i'm no rivet counter,rather otbb,however looking at the photos,the 50,cal looks truly very poor,it just looks out of place on the build,in fact it,s crap,why oh why does tamiya produce a new kit,then let it down with a poor 50,makes no sense to me,just lets the after market boys in from the start,plus i noticed no etch at all,you'd think that at usd53.00 you would get more for your money,still only my opinion.
regards to all

The belt tracks from Tamiya's recent releases were in soft plastic and were a lot more detailed than the belts in this kit.

I like that tc figure.

I've found that it's a matter of a few minutes to take a link or two out of the Tamiya glue-able tracks, and it improves their look hugely.
I will buy one, even though I have the Asuka/Tamiya kit in the stash, because, typically for Tamiya kits, this one will be buildable in the limited modeling time I have these days.
