I'm looking to build an M51 Isherman, and I see that there are two choices - Dragon or Academy. Anyone know how the two kits compare as far as ease of construction and accuracy?

I seem to remember reading about some problems with the muzzle break on the Dragon kit, IIRC. That's all I seem to remember, though. Can anyone provide any additional info?

Also, what color should the tank be? I haven't been able to find much info about them online.

Thanks for any info or suggestions!

Thanks for the info, guys; I registered with the IDF In Scale Forum, and will do some research there. I also started looking here for info on the M51, and the more I looked, the more I found!
