Tamiya's Chieftain is being overshadowed by the new Takom offerings, bit it is still quite buildable. If you want the tweaks list modelers have used for years, it can be found here.

Much of the list deals with updating the kit, which isn't really necessary with all the new kits available. Concentrate on the Mk 3 version. Don't let it overwhelm you. You don't have to fix everything--just whatever you think is within your skill set and worth the time.
