Great Starting Point
This kit of the US M5A1 is probably one of the best on the market, needing very little re-modelling to produce a convincing representation of this iconic tank. A lot of extra stowage helps to give a more realistic image. Storage space inside was reserved for ammunition, with little space for personal stuff. That leaves the tank's outside! Once you get into the frame of mind of a 1940's tank crewman, you can easily make a list of what they would need to 'live' in their tank. that is one drawback with all the M5A1 kits. There's a load of aftermarket goodies you could tap into, and i would advise some research, photo's, camo scheme's etc. Set a period you want to portray, practice producing battle dame but don't get locked into enemy fire damage. These tanks lived a rough life and as such would pick up scares, dents, body damage and a lot of mud! The second part of this kit is the mortar team. This is my only criticism as, although accurate, they don't really portray battlefield conditions and the 'make do' life of the front-line 'Grunt', they are far too 'clean'. They will need a lot of careful modelling and excellent painting skills to arrive at a realistic finish. That aside this an excellent kit to build and a great start to 1/35th scale modelling ... enjoy.

Great model and good value
I bought this for a diorama based on the Normandy tank battles with a Panzer IIV also from Tamiya and it is a great kit. The parts fit together really nicely and it comes with a crew of 4 all have good detail and the finished model looks really cool. Painted with acrylics thinned with water and a drop of washing up liquid and my airbrush. Another great kit from Tamiya and reasonably priced as well.
