I built it. It is a very nice kit overall. There are some issues, which I mentioned in my build log on this site. It should be linked to the review I did. If you are going to do a low bustle turret version, you have to cover the loader's hatch as they were single hatch turrets. If you are going to do the high bustle version you will have to request the base from Dragoncare, unless they are now including it. Depending on the vehicle, you will also have to add serial numbers. The final drive covers are the correct size and are beautiful. I didn't have any fit issues with the hull. Everything you need is included, even if the instructions don't show it.

Google the 44th tank battalion, which has good photos of three of the vehicles in the kit. Ole Miss, and Battlin Basic have good shots.

You can also do a tank from Okinawa with the vision cupola for the commander. Bison does a set of decals for a composite flame tank from Okinawa. All you would need is a new set of tracks.
