This is the very old Tamiya M41 Walker Bulldog. While newer molds may be better in detailing this kit holds it's own. There are motorization holes on the bottom which I covered with plastic sheet from picnic plates. Because this kit was purchased at a show it was missing the brush guards so I made my own using Plas-Strut material.
Assembly was fast and pain free and could possibly have been a Blizbau consideration.
Markings included US and JSDF. So bring on Godzilla.
Hope you like it.

Nice looking tank. I reckon you could still purchase one here for under $20

That's an amazingly clean and tidy build! Great stuff.
The past, present, and future walked into a bar. It was tense.

Re: Tamya M41 Walker Bulldog
Lovely build, Jeff. Classic Tamiya kits can yield great looking replicas with a bit of TLC as you have shown here. I love 'em!
