I recently acquired a Tamiya M41 kit and have no idea what to do with it. This is the first I've ever heard of the vehicle and need suggestions.

Trevor,

Build it, sir!

Actually, you could build it as a Cold War US Army M41, West Germany, Denmark, or even Austria. They were also used during the Vietnam War by the ARVN and were later captured and used by North Vietnam. You can review the Wikipedia M41 Article. Prime Portal has a few image groups, but there are also alot of images on the web.

You could also talk to Dave Varettoni, since he recently built one of his own.

You could even build a small dio of a M41 range hulk that has been all shot up.

I HTH.

This was my 2nd kit. I just built it out of box following the instructions that came with it and looked for some photos as reference on the internet. As my 2nd build, this photo were taken in 2007, this is as far as i can go with the kit and i was unable to finish the kit until it got ruined. Now i am planning of repairing it.
