I got it in the post today.
It really is an excellent kit- although I have the feeling that Revell's German subjects are a touch better done, this is only subjective. The detail is considerably finer than Fujimi's 1/76 one. The gripe is the vinyl tracks, even if they are excellently moulded.
The downside is the price- at 20 € (including postage) it is expensive (but still cheaper than resin).
If there's interest, I could put up a more detailed review (with photos, too )
Cheers,

The Pit Road JGSDF tank kits are produced in collaboration with Trumpeter and the Trumpeter versions are about half the price of the Pit Road kits.

Apart from the price and brand, the kits are identical.

I know, but I just couldn't wait
I'll pick up types 61 and 74 in the trumpeter box once they hit european shores.

Cheers,
