Just finished this and waiting for the mojo to create the diorama to strike - it's a classic, the metal barrel is worthwhile (didn't fancy the screen though) - have you noticed the driver has distinctly African-American features?

This is new Tamiya, from 2019. The old kit looks like an M551 but needs an awful lot of corrections to be a decent replica. This one should be far better.

Just ordered a couple of things, not sure if I'll have much use for them, but cheap enough to sit and do nothing.

And a double of

Thanks for your thoughts on the kit Steve...... pleased you thought it was cool too:thumb2:!
I agree with the Driver,he certainly does appear to have that look about him........ makes for an eclectic mix.
As for the Metal barrel,i`ll have a look around,but the single piece,kit supplied one,shouldn`t be too bad i`m guessing?!

Hi Jakko,
Well.......,get me suddenly acquiring a Tamiya kit that isn`t at least 30 years old,dunno how that happened!!:flushed::tears-of-joy:
Of course,you are bang on about this being the new one...... I didn`t actually notice,i just really liked the look of it! Judging by the reviews i`ve read since,(and the comments from yourself and Steve),it certainly appears to be a bit of an instant fav!

Do let us know how you get on with it — I’ve always liked the M551, and started correcting the old Tamiya kit once upon a time but never did finish it (what else is new? ). If this one looks good I might just get me one too …

Will do Jakko,
I`m intending starting it this weekend,as i should`ve finished the builds of the Bulldog and Patton by then,(They`ll be in line for my next weathering/detail painting session).
If there`s enough interest i`ll blog the whole build,if not i`ll pop up progress reports here and there :thumb2: ,
Nice to see you pop in mate:hugging-face:
