From experience with that kit, you will want the Formations update set. It comes with the full turret, plus the idler wheels too and a lot of other useful parts. The new transmission cover is another big deal, because the DML one is out of whack in a few ways. Every part in that set is an improvement over the DML, and it makes a nice impact on the end result. A very good deal for $40
Also, I had a lot of issues with the DML tracks when I tried to use the extended end connectors. The hole spacing is slightly off from the regular end connectors, and it curves the track sideways on you. It's a real pain in the behind. I ended up using the RHPS British Chevron tracks which are much easier to assemble, and I belive there are EEC's available from him as well. Or you the DML tracks can be used, just with the standard end connectors only. They look fine, just not as easy to assemble as the RHPS.
