Is the Tamiya M60A1 with ERA a passable version? I have heard it has some issues but it is ok on the whole ?

Among its issues, the biggest is that the smoke dischargers need to be extended farther from the turret. And easy fix with some Evergreen Rod.

It’s the same old kit underneath the ERA. I’d say the best use for it would be to take the ERA from and stick it onto an Italeri M60A1. Only thing there is that I see that both the Tamiya and Italeri kits cost something like €25–30 each, while a Takom M60A1+ is around €50–55. I would only really take the conversion route if money was an issue and I could get the Tamiya and/or Italeri kits much cheaper than normal.

Im now looking at the Takom M60A1 with dozer blade and ERA or the RFM M1A1 with the blade
