What do you think of this diecast tank?

Ah Tamiya? Are they masterwork collection? I can't afford master work collection and besides I'd think they are too expensive to be too fragile.

My other tanks are 1:35 too(mostly self assembled model kit and 3 Minichamps) and about eight 1:72s. This is my first 1:32 but it is also my first big scale WWII tank. So I guess if I keep the scale to WWII tanks I'll be alright.

I just couldn't resist the twisting metal skirt and the mud and the exhaust rust. It's what a workhorse tank should look like. Ugly, dirty and bent than pristine. You can actually see some indentation on the turret skirt to portray bounced small caliber shell marks. Even some metal patches to fix previous large caliber shell penetrations(holes) on the turret skirt.
