### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great little tank.
*by A***S on December 27, 2025*

An excellent model. Fun to build.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great tank model for all abilities
*by J***V on May 16, 2025*

Tamiya never disappoints. This is a good first armor kit if you’re nervous about where to start. It’s a historical piece that Tamiya thoughtfully includes a bit of historical narrative to but if you prefer to soup up your models with details and extensive paint jobs it’s good for that too. The fit and finish is excellent the final product will please the most picky critic. If like the basics the finished model looks great and if you like there are several companies producing detail kits using resin or photo etched hop up parts. Your WWII armor collection won’t be complete without this one.
