But a Tamiya, nevertheless.
I split the axle and added a dual gearbox to the 1/35 Mark IV Male kit. It's another well engineered kit from Tamiya and I got it from your side of the pond for $50 shipped, so I'm not complaining.
It'll get the serious Horror Show treatment, I put the tracks on and am waiting on higher voltage motors. The Tamiya Maruchis I had on hand were 3 volts, but I'm using the the guttywuts from the Panda Hobby kit and it's 6-8 volts. It'll have working MGs, cannon and sound, just not sure if I'll do the recoil (not even sure if the real one recoiled).
Here's the test spin:
