Honest opinions of the Academy M4A2(76) Soviet

I'm putting the finishing touches on mine and I have heard alot of complaints about the quality of the kit. I'm not saying it's great, there are shortcomings such as the angle of the rear hull being to near verticle, the step in the barrel and so on but overall I think it builds into a nice kit. I did replace the turret with a CMD turret and used some PE for the brush guards and switched the track for some 3-cleat I had laying about. My point is I do pretty much the same if it's a Dragon kit, Tamiya or Italeri. I would be curious to hear from others who have built the kit to get their opinion. I see where they are now releasing the USMC version and it appears they corrected the rear hull angle... anyone plan on buying that kit.
