Status: offline 		What do you want to do with it? I would buy a smoke and sound kit for spare parts and upgrade to metal tracks for starters, then gearboxes. Then you can do some modeling- no not runway modeling, work on your tank! Rotate the pistol port to the proper position, Rotate the Commanders Cupola if there's not too much glue up there, flip the mantlet and lengthen the gun barrel, relocate the antenna, etc. Your desires and wallet are the limit!
