This was another really nice offering from Tamiya. The 1/35 scale IDF tank is perfect for aftermarket figures, weapons and accessories. It assembles fairly quickly and easily. The tracks are so nice there is really no need for aftermarket individual link type. The weapons are pretty well done with the exception of the M2. It is, as are most mass produced guns, lackluster at best. I replace mine with an aftermarket example and it really made this model pop. Some IDF accessories from DEF and Miniart really capped it off nice. I strongly encourage this model for everyone from beginners to experts. It is fun, a fast build, and above average.
