US M1A1 w/Mine Plow Tank

I am fairly new to model building but I liked this kit. It was a little hard to follow the front plow assemble but I think it still came out good.

Overall this is a great kit. The instructions are very clear, except in one area. The fit was very good also, didnt have to fill any gaps or clamp any parts together. I would definitely buy another one to build the other variation of it.

Tamiya tried and true. Selected this one over regular M1A1's because of the Mine Plow. Chains, counter weights and movable sleds made this a fun build and held the attention of the grandkids. Some of the finer details and parts a little heavy on the molding so not quite true to size (according to Google images) but none-the-less worked out well. Chose not to overall paint and left to Tamiya's desert colored plastic which isn't horrible, but after finishing seems rather boring. Perhaps I need to learn to 'age' or 'weather' a kit for better results??
