M551 Sheridan (1/16): Your Opinions on the Kit?

I've built it, nice model

Very nice work! I have a very dear friend who served in a Sheridan in the Gulf, so I’d likely lean that direction. Have you had any issues with the tracks?

While the models are still available, obtaining spare parts is almost impossible.

I just went looking for spare tracks and found none available. My other option would be to resize Inkor's tracks to fit the Tamiya sprockets and print them myself. The Sheridan was pretty much the shortest release run of all the Tamiya tanks so I would assume spare parts will be non-existent in a few years. If I build my static one I will be using non-Tamiya stuff like Louis.

Expensive and not as well engineered as some of the other offerings.
