"I want the kit everyone else is talking about"

papagabriel (Naples, FL)

This was my first Tamiya kit that gave me problems. I've had minor ones before but this kit just kept on piling them up. Had problems with the fit and had to either cut pieces off or fill in gaps. Not what I usually have to do with a Tamiya kit. I have photos of a couple of the problems below. In spite of the problems I am happy with the result just not with the journey getting there. From the other reviews I must have gotten the cull of the crop. Hope this is a once only thing. I have switched over from German armor to American for awhile. So don't be put off by my review. You may have a better experience than me as most other reviewers seemed too.

"Good, but not usual Tamiya"

illiniteach29

The Tamiya M5A1 Tank kit was, overall, a good kit. In fact, normally I would give it a 5 star because the fit was great, instructions were clear, and overall it looks good. However, I gave it only 4 stars because there was a lot of trimming required to get rid of molding and clean up edges, something that I've never experienced with Tamiya before. This extra work wasn't a problem, but like I said, not what I'm used to from Tamiya products.

"A Bantam Weight Winner"

johncpo41 (www.hobbiesinabarn)

I recently purchased this 1/35th scale winner of the model equipped with the Cullens Hedgerow Cutter on the front. Fully aware that Tamiya really goes to great lengths to preserve history made my choice clear with this kit; place it in the hedgerows, and replace the M3 that was already shown there. After highly detailing and weathering the M5 I placed it into the battle, complete with crewmen seeking the Germans and ready to plow through the overgrowth. My diorama was immensely improved by this model. I did not use the version of the kit with the mortar crew.

"pleased"

dburke0044

This tank was very fun to build. It contained all the pieces necessary and I was satisfied with the end result. The extra figures was also an awesome bonus! The only problem i found was when I was mounting the upper body to the hull. It took some work and multiple tries but I would recommend this tank especially to beginners.
