    First Tank Model kit!!
  

*by Z***E on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023*

Saw a neat video for this on youtube and decided to build one for myself as an inexpensive starter kit. It was super easy to put together with no headaches at all (except maybe the side skirts). Didn’t want to leave it with the desert colors so I sprayed random woodland camo splotches on it lol. Great kit and will definitely get another.

Tamiya has a well earned reputation for quality and it shines through here. The fit was great with no gapping,the instructions were clear, and the assembly was down right fun. The box arrived in good shape and no damage. The tracks are the common rubber type, metal tracks are available look em up on amazon. I used a heavy dark wash to simulate one more dirty battle tank, all I need now is a scale model of a power washer. Included are 2 crew figures not shown as they’re not painted yet. 5 stars for this one.
