No I won't - most of my tanks bar the Danville Panther are parade-ground fresh or lightly weathered only, just how I like my tanks to be. I like how the turret top is secured with two cam hooks on either side - very sturdy. The aforementioned mantlet hinge flap won't last one battle day when you have to keep popping the turret on and off to change batteries.

Anyhow I got it home, here it is, next to my Heng Long Abrams. The machine guns have yet to be painted, but I'll be going ahead with the decals and clearcoating in the next few days.
