If you saw my last post you will know that I have previously built this kit. Well I decided to build it again, this time for me. I have obtained the Eduard PE kit for it. I am going to use the really nice Academy M2 .50 cal. I have the Tamiya Jerry cans for it. I'm going to modify and use the AFV Club M41 periscope set, and I'm going to put some of the AFV Club multi-piece tracks on it. I have added some pics of the top hull and M2 Machine Gun parts that I am going to use. Bear in mind that I am not really an armor modeler. I just do occasionally build a tank.

Like I said, I'm not really an armor guy. I built the Tamiya M41 as a gift for one of my kids friends. I just think that it is what a tank should look like. I don't know how that sounds, it just has classic tank lines. It is also fairly well detailed, and the after market stuff for it is pretty cheap. Unfortunately, I lost my job in December and I have to do my hobby on a shoestring. Definitely more time than money right now. Some day I would like to do a "real" Tamiya tank with some add-ons, but too rich for my blood right now. I am not really sure how im going to make the small raised webbing on the side access doors, maybe some flattened wires? I would take suggestions.
