If you said cheap, you must be talking the Tamiya kit. That was my first or second tank back in the mid seventies and the subject of my first (pitiful) attempt at a dio. There are reported to be accuracy problems for that kit, but unless you are a student of WWII armor, you won;t really notice. It also goes together quite well. Enjoy it!

Tazz,
I thought ALL these kits were to hone our skills up to the time our wives allow us to purchase a 1:1 scale original for the yard.
