Default RE: Tamiya JS-2 question

Hi,

I think the JS-2 is way overpriced. In terms of features and build complexity, it is only at par with previous Tamiya releases such as The King Tiger, Tiger 1, Jagdpanther , Panther, KV-1 and perhaps the Sherman. The M26 Pershing is even more complicated. Surely, it is far behind the Leopard 2A6 (multi-mode fiber optic lighting, bearing-equipped turret rotation system (the best), dual 540 motors, sealed and sophisticated gearbox assembly, translucent main gun tip, rubber-pad tracks, etc.). I have also been contemplating on the JS-2 but can't seem to justify purchase.
