Al, sing out if you want the track. So long as I see a M3 wearing them I'll be happy mate!

Brad, fantastic work as always. Look at the grab handle on the lower hull rear, top. It looks like the glue shrunk into the mounting hole.
Actually, the British pattern track was used on some Commonwealth M4's on Sicily and early Italy. Some means a few.
I am probably way behind the times but DML had better follow up on this one:

Hey good spot Randy!
That has been addressed since...
A little more work.
The decals arrived, and since I have glossed, decalled, set, glossed. The following are prior to the setting solution being added. I'm happy to report that it was a success!
Some washes will be next on the cards.
I love the splash of colour these decals give the OD finish...

Nice job and it Brad.
Real nice.
For a minute I thought you had some real big hands or a 1/48 scale tank.
I guess the way the picture is.
Bloody brilliant build.

Brad-- reference the drive sprockets. Are these the two piece ones like Tamiya puts out or are they the ones that have the outer sprocket glued to the base piece?
thanks
DJ

Hi Brad,
Excellent work on the kit, it's really comoing along well. I got a bit behind on this one being somewhat carrier/Grant orientated.
Another super job and one to bookmark
Right get the mud on and lets see her done.
DJ,
Did someone mention my name and track Yes please, a glutton for punishment.
Cheers guys

Those decals do add a bit of color to the tank. Looking good.
