A note from Jason Bobrowich after the review was submitted to Armorama: The incorrectly spelled KMW on the decal sheet is likely due to copyright issues with the logo and company name. Cut out the incorrect letters, spin them 180 degress, apply them in the correct position. Done.

Thank you for the excellent review Michael!

The decal "fix" is an ingenious one, I must admit

Most of us here are well aware of the old Tamiya kit and it's problems. It is a baby of the 1970s, a typical motorised model that shared common parts with their Leopard 1 which meant the wheel spacing was incorrect - this kits Achilles heal. At least it was nothing like as bad as Heller's kit.
