Worth $20 or way too much modeling entertainment?

Too much, this is the old Lee kit. Poor motorized copy of the Tamiya kit.

This thing is soooo bad, a real train wreck. I got one for about 10 bucks just to get the bustle rack to convert the Tamiya M2 into a M2A1. Even that was too much to pay. The detail is very soft with lots of flash.

Worst kit I ever bought. Fought with it for a week and threw it in the trash. It wasn't even worthy of the spares box.

Yup, pretty poor copy of the Tamiya kit. It is usable, but takes some work to get it to the Tamiya kit standards.

Good Luck.

If it's anything like any of the Hobbycraft kits I've done, it ain't worth the trouble even opening your wallet for it.
