Hi Marc, Ive build the Tamiya version some time ago, and I'm buildind the Academy Viet Nam version right now, and in my humble opinion...Academy is my winner.
Better detail; the choice of rubberband tracks, and indy tracks, and loads of extra's.
Add the better price, ( we will always stay Dutch ), and the package is complete!!

Greetz, John.

If there is no interior intended in the conversion then the Tamiya is a cheap option but you'll have to fix the radiator cap and the periscopes need cleaning up.

Which conversion is it?
