I wouldn't cheer to much on this kit, the track is going to be the same as with their M4A3 w kit which I'm doing a Blog Build here.
All those tiny Duck Bills will have to be added on after the track is assembled. That's 79 on each side.
Not going to do that.
You'd be better off with the Asuka kit.
Regards.

The Meng tracks are a pain. More or less like the Bronco tracks. I decided to glue the end connectors on the track links before assembling the tracks using tweezers and a lot of cursing.

Good to see that the decals include an afro-american unit.
I just wonder how it can be that a considerable amount of the war effort of the over 130,000 men (and women) is absolutely ignored.
Some small sets of afro heads are available by Hornet, but no mechanics, truck drivers etc. All depends on own creativity, but men in winter uniforms, manning AFV‘s, are rare.
So, which company will start providing this superb Meng model with a coloured crew?
