Good, but not usual Tamiya

By: 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

By: 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

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.
