| Subject: | Academy Minicraft was a poor copy of a poor Tamiya kit |  |

The original kit was the oversized Tamiya M4A3 E8 kit -- which was extremely toylike. Then Academy pirates it and puts out their version. It's really a dog. The Italeri one is much more akin to correct 1/35.
You're correct about the upgrading of the M4A3 with suspensions. The hull would have been the same. |
