I bought the original kit several years ago of this, what I believe is the newer re-kit using many of the same parts for the turret and body. I then took the road wheel sets from another kit to make a Korean War model of this kit. I wanted a Korean War M4A3E8 (Easy eight) as seen in the opening months of that nearly forgotten war. The highly modified model that I produced is a special project but well worth the effort. As far a the listed kit I would recommend it to an experienced model tank builder.
