Hello All,
I've been in the proccess of packing up some models and my modeling tools in preparation for an immanent, but hopefully brief, hiatus from the hobby. I'll still be a regular here, just the building will stop for a bit.
Anyway, today I unexpectedly came into possesion of Tamiya's 1/35 Chieftain MK.5 tank. It looks decent and hasn't even been started

The sprues are still sealed in their bags.
As it will be some time before I get any sort of a start to it, I figure I can use the time to accumulate some research materials and aftermarket things for it.
What are some good reference sources for the Chieftain, both books and internet references?
The kit has vinyl tracks and from some of the things I've read about tracks from this material, I may be better to seek aftermarket alternatives, are there any tracks made for this thing?
What can I get in the way of aftermarket things for it?
Did anyone use it besides Britain? If so, who and are there any aftermarket decal sheets to represent foreign users of it?
Are there any glaring innacuracies, beyond the mountings for the motor from previous motorized editions, that I should be aware of?
Thanks in advance.
