I picked up a Tamiya JS3 at a show, found some Fruilies for it (snipe hunt, lol); then looking closer at the kit I'm not too impressed; open sponsons, not great detail....so, what do you think? Do I build the kit, fix it, accurize it, snipe hunt for a barrel....or, is there a really good kit of a JS tank I could buy instead and re-sell the JS3? What would you do?

Look at the real tank. Very simple design. Maybe we really don't need a 1,000 part kit. Just my thought. Has Tamiya ever done a bad tank model.

Some tips for the build :
