This isn't a rehash of the old Tamiya kit. The only old part is the lower hull from 1985 motorized kit. I bought this from Jon @ Missionmodels. It can be a great kit with some TLC and some plastic stock. ALL the sprues EXCEPT the lower hull. It also includes periscopes and tools. The tracks are ok, but could be replaced if you can find some of the old Bandai stuff. I really like the kit and hope to do some more large scale stuff. Some extra parts are there too for the Jagdpanther. There aren't any engine deck screens, but they can be custom made easily. You'll al so want to fix the motorization areas with putty or filler.
I think there's a movement afoot to get out some of this 1/25 scale stuff.
I hope this helps you. This is all, of course, one man's opinion!
