Why not just buy the Tamiya M20?

Might be worth waiting, see if Italeri bring out an M20 of their own. Wouldn't be very difficult as their new Braille scale M8 already has the interior of the M20. They managed to make the same mistake as Monogram.

It's a pretty good kit - usual molded-on pioneer tools, etc. Barrel need cleaning or replacing and supports for the machine gun ring are way too thick. Also no open hatches and no interior for the turret, although the main gun and coaxial are complete. On the other hand, you do get pre-bent tarp/tents and bags for the turret sides . . .
