Very nice kit. I just love to build Tamiya armor and this one was a typical fun build. I also purchased that additional tracks and etched engine covers. The only thing I don't understand is their system for making the upper hull removable. It just doesn't sit right. It needs to be glued together because on mind the upper hull didn't sit flush with the lower hull.
I usually paint the road wheels separately, but on this one I just assembled them all as per the instructions. I will paint the lower hull and road wheels and then glue the hull together before painting the rest.
I wish the track idler was more easily adjustable. When using the add-on track links, I had to glue the idler on, fit the tracks to check tension and then rip the idler off to adjust it. The adjuster is keyed, but I would expect Tamiya to offer a solution that was a bit more thought out.
I love the well sculpted figures!
