I agree. Here is what I wrote about it at Armorama.
Looks O.K. Few things that need improvement though. The track is too loose and doesn't lay well on the return rollers, just floating above them. Tracks could use some weathering too, they are too clean compared to the rest of the tank. Rear lights are incorrect and sloppy. The right side should not have a red lense, but another small slit on the upper portion for the blackout marker light. Decals are silvered in most areas. Center hubs on road wheels look black, they should be green like the rest of the tank. The piece on the back of the turret stowage box is a tripod mount for the .50 cal MG. It should be all overal green or gunmetal, it has no wood on it. Tools have mold lines and could use some weathering too. Lastly, the figure is incorrect for an M41A3. The CVC helmet wasn't issued till the late '70's and early '80's. M41A3 was used by US forces in the '50's and early '60's. The soft leather, WWII type helmet or the Vietnam era bone dome would have been worn. Pretty good effort. Little more work and "Art Instructor" will have made a nice model. Right now it is so, so.
Hope that isn't its permanant dio base ifor t is on as well. It looks pretty bad with exposed styrofoam and green foam poking through. Plaster for the road looks pretty sloppy and unrealistic as well.
Someone else there asked if he could get his money back too. Not a really stunning model.
