Thank you guys!
The kit is a typical Tamiya kit. Easy to build, good details, a full crew, plenty of ammo projectiles (including decals to mark them). Those HVSS suspensions are so easy to build you gotta marvel at Tamiya's engineering.
As bad things I had to replace the string with a proper metal wire and of course the vinyl tracks. They're not bad but Tamiya makes them a little bit inaccurate as the their T80 track guide-horns are molded as a solid block which is not correct.

Nice job Dan. Setup is really cool with the opened breach and the next shell being brought up. Very nice paintjob as well. 👍

Thank you Martin!
@James, while the AFV club is cheaper than Tamiya and is just as detailed it has a couple of flaws:
1. The AFV barrel has the wrong length
2. The vinyl tracks included are only good for the for the Zebra mission prototype (WW2 not Korea). If you want to make a Korean vehicle (and most of the markings in the AFV kit are for this setup) you might want to change the tracks as well
Personally I would have went for the AFV kit as I replaced the tracks anyway if Tamiya would have not included the whole crew. For me this was an important aspect.
Also Tamiya only includes Korean markings.
