Save yourself a headache and get the metal swing arms for the road wheels. The plastic ones in the kit will split where they screw to the torsion bar retainer. other than that the kit runs great.

Stcla1r,

You might want to take a look at my topic "Newbie with Tamiya Leo" for some tips I found on building and running the 2A6.

I see you got all the after-market metal detailing parts. Is there any benefit to them over the plastic? You are using CA to attach them?

But they do come in kits. You have to deconstruct them first! Seriously though, you can cut them up into individual parts and add scratch-made details as well as aftermarket enhancements (especially those made for 1/16 Tamiya tanks).

I think most of us can afford a Tamiya but we cannot justify the high price. I can no longer do so myself and I own two Shermans bought years ago.
