Anyone else getting excited?

It's looking pretty amazing, and they've delayed it a few time (hopefully to correct some issues)

Looks like there will be tons of room for detailing...

Pros:

A nice, huge model, with interior, of what is clearly the sexiest variant of the sexiest tank of WW2

Pinned tracks!

Plenty of ammo

Plastic rubber rims for the road wheels (I hate working with actual rubber like on the t-34 kits)

Nearly scale thickness plastic shurzen and mountings

Cons:

It looks like the only turret shurzen doors come molded shut...

Gap at the rear of the turret between stowage bin and shurzen seems a bit large

Weld seams are pretty much none existant

Seam at the rear between engine deck and lower hull splits at the L joint

Pretty pricey... I threw down on two preorders and was in the doghouse for a week
