This is fascinating! But also a bit sad. I first encountered the beast in the early 1990s in its cheesy Tamiya-style three-colour camo, and somewhere I have a half-finished kit of it exactly “as found” with all the empty clamps and missing bits. So it was a bit of my past, and seeing it transformed feels a bit final. BUT… if it preserves it as a fully running tank, that’s got to be good!
