    It appears that Tamiya was always Tamiya...a 40 years old model with almost close to perfect fit...! I bought this model for 5$, the seller was reallly surprised when I picked it ?

  6. Very Nice! I just love the M3/M5 family of light tanks and you've done a wonderful job with yours!

  7. Excellent! Those old Tamiya kits are great aren't they!

    Did all the accessories come with the kit or are they your own construction?
