In an effort to simplify my life and actually get something built, I am contemplating building the Trumpeter KFOR Challenger 2 kit (00345) as out of the box as possible. I want to build the version with the short skirts and dozer.

Any insight on what to watch out for or items that are so far from reality that the really should be modified or replaced? Would a better option be to use this kit as a donor for the Tamiya kit?

Thank you!

John
