Has anyone made this Tank kit?

My father in law came home today with an old airfix kit he had found at a small community centre sale.
He gave it to me and I was amazed with how old yet untouched it was. (Even the decal sheet was there).

Looked it up online and it was released in 1972! Even has an amusing line in the airfix leaflet about the tank being used in the Recent Vietnam war lol.

Here are a few pictures, should I build this or would that be wrong? Anyone ever built it?

I don't know what it's like mate, but, it's a kit, so it wants to be built!

That's like buying Star Wars figures and keeping them in the box til they get valuable. Sod that, play with them!!

Always thought of it that way myself, make it and display it...

It's there destiny to be built. BUILD IT I say.

But it might be valuable maybe one of the last existing ones might et enough money for it to buy 10 new kits hahaha

2 on ebay right now for around 20usd.

Not made a tank before but I think this old kit deserves a place in a diorama. Will plan it carefully I think this will be a distant build
