Don't know about the accuracy (don't have one of the models, can't remember which). I do have a son in Iraq that was a Tanker (he drives Strykers [sp?] now), and I did get in the 'kiddy line' to see the insides of one, so I've been in one..;)

The point is probably a mix between those who are interested in detail, and those who are just using them as props. I knew about the cannon change between models. Unless you're doing a series of pictures about the tank itself (someone did one on tankers as mice, which cracked my son up...;), you're focusing on something else. I've done hundreds of models (and, in confirmation of Sturgeons' law, 90% of them are crap..;), as long as you render the recognizable details fairly accurately, most folks will be happy with it.

I'm just glad people make good models for us to use.

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
