US Light Tank M5A1 w/4 Figures

This kit meets all of Tamiya quality. PRO'S: Easy to follow instructions. Decals went on good for the 3rd & 2nd armor divisions. Since this is a older kit by Tamiya it still leaves you some different options. You can leave the hedge cutters off (c-4) and install two tow eyes instead. The instruction do not mention this. But you will find them on a extra tree with a .50 cal. machine gun. My research also showed the tank with out the sand skits a lot. If you leave them off you can skip the instructions in step 3 of removing them off of parts b-17.If you leave off the .30 cal. machine gun storage of the turret. You will have a early version. They give you 2 sand bags for extra detail. I also add a tarp roll from my extra part's box. Single piece rubber tracks. Going to use this tank along with the 4 figure mortar team in a diorama. CON'S: I had a difficult time installing the upper hull to the lower hull. Just take your time and it will fall in place. Nice kit for a beginner. Plan on buying it again and leaving off the hedge cutter, sand skirts and gun storage.
