I would like to see it in green like the Vietnam Cobra.And yes i know that is a Super Cobra not a Cobra,so it will not be authentic,but i think it will look good in that color.

The tank look like it has been on many battle fronts.It could use a couple of projectile dents on the armor.I think i see one on the front and it looks good.I can not see the end of the main gun,but a few white stripes for the tank kills will make it look like it look more lethal.I like that the red...

$300-$400 is fair.The T-34 sold well at $300.It is a full kit,which means there is no need to get parts from another tank to build it.There is more resin involve.Not to mention more wheels and track links that have to be made which translate in to more time spend making it.
