Pretty good work -but there are 3 things that can be corrected. # 1 the spot -light wire looks like it is routed under the manlet .That's a pinch point . On the tamiya m-48 I built last year there is a plug adapter (part # D 1 tamiya kit # 35120) . # 2 the crewmen sitting on the fender
and all 3 hatches are buttoned up- hatches are kinda hard to close from the outside. And # 3, the upper set of spare track links just to the front of the commanders cupola -they are in a bit of a bad spot . They block the right range finder blister . Overall, I like the missing front fenders, and the base is really good. Good job, keep up the good work.

Good job Andreas.

Like Da Toadster, I also like the base you've got this beastie posed on.

I was wondering if the glass in the turret copula should be a dark blue or gloss black rather than OD?

Well done here Andreas, a very impressive piece---congrats.

The searchlight wire should terminate next to that round thing on the roof of the turret in front of the loader's hatch.
I see decal film beloe the tracks spares,and a SEAM below that.
but all in all it is a good build.

Hi guys,
thanks for the help, will see what I can do. Re. the wiring plug, I have seen a few pics of early A3 Pattons without any plug at all and the VSS-1 searchlight actrually seems to bve connected via the mantlet sometimes?!
Also the track stowage has two pics on Concord's Armour of the Vietnam war as ref. I kind like the way it looks...
I am short of inside pics of the CWS so I did that closed.
Again thx for the hints!
cheers - Andreas -

Good work auheger
I like it, but probably turrettoad13 have reason.
