The Cadillac reference has been completely misconstrued. What I was trying to say if you are going to pay Cadillac money, the tank should be worth the money. Stowage wasn't in my reference. Stowage is a personal preference. My complaints are with the actually details on the vehicle. For the money I'd be

offering: better crew served weapon detail, molded on deck texture, better suspension, photo etch grills, and of course the electronics if you are a fan of the Tamiya control package. In general I regard Tamiya as a good company. I've bought their 1/35 kits over the years and bought a Hornet R/C car in my early teens.

I just got the e mail from AAF to pay for my Abrahms. I am wondering if Cleong or one of the other members with the kit could post what bearings the kit needs. Would like to order them before the kit gets here. Is there a link to a PDF of the instructions yet? Can't find one if there is.
This is going to be a nice addition to go with my Leopard and Pershing tanks.

I hadn't heard a video that did the Abrams soundtrack any justice, hence I made sure sound was good on mine.
I want to highlight that the Clark TK22 M1 board has a similar sound output albeit a longer startup sequence. It sounds equally good with uprated speakers. Where it doesn't do so well is in modulation of the sound pitch with respect to throttle positions, it steps from one pitch to another, instead of varying pitch smoothly.
I'm not sure if TK60 fixes this characteristic, though. I'll do a video soon.
