Did you receive your Tamiya M-26 yet? I just got mine through HobbyLink Japan. She is a true beauty. Little or no flash (emphasis on the lack of flash). Interesting suspension system design. Unfortunately, not a single piece main gun tube. Vinyl tracks (I like that sometimes). Overall, I am impressed. Hope you will share your thoughts on it.
thanks

I got mine yesterday also...thing that impressed me was the option to open up the lower hull with molded holders to mount it to a diorama base using screwes...nice little touch there.

What type of tracks does it have ? T66 or T80? Also is it the W.W.2 or post war version?

- not yet, I ran home yesterday hoping there'd be a package waiting for me, but alas, nothing but a hot porch.

Knowing my mailperson - she's reading the Hunnicutt book and looking through the Tamiya Pershing that I'm expecting - before she delivers it...
