This one has great views of the kit parts with no build. One thing Tamiya did oddly was the lower hull sides. They actually slope in between the bottom of the upper hull and the suspension. On most vehicles this is covered by sheet metal. It is really obvious from the inside since the hull ammo racks sit on it. I'm just surprised by how they chose to portray this.

Thanks for sharing, Tom. The hull slope issue - is that an accuracy issue that will show up once the kit is built or not a visible detail?

No on most vehicles the space was covered by sheet metal. Have to see if some of the walk arounds show it. It is behind the road wheels and track and hard to see. I just think Tamiya might have portrayed it better, but by no means a deal breaker.

I recently saw sprue shots of the Rye kit it has the hull indents.

just watched one video of the new tamiya sheridan and it states that there are six parts to each ammo box!... i'm not a fan of this type of over engineering, other than that the kit looks freaking great!
