Nice job on the chieftan. You might want to pick up some artist acrylic structure gel, whip up a little mud and stick some on the mud flaps and areas where the track can throw up mud. Just my two cents worth! Still nice job on the build!! Have fun!!

Cool T55 there

Hi John, Everybody,
Vance, your T-55 looks great!

I might need the extension because...
After finishing a couple of campaigns that I severely lagged on and seeing that this one was still going, I pulled out an old Tamiya M48A3 that's been in my stash almost as long as I've had my stash. Vietnam Marine M48 it is.
I ordered a PE set from a guy on Feebay and waited... and waited... Then my Graphics card went south and took the motherboard with it.
So, without the distraction of my square-headed mistress, I pulled the kit out and decided to recreate one of those glorious Modelling nights before AMS, Puberty, Cars, and Liquor, when I would slam a kit together in a couple of hours with a tube of Testors, an x-acto, and a rattle can of OD paint.
And I did. And it was HARD. The kit itself was easy, typical Tamiya, but fighting the AMS was like trying to put socks on a rooster. The suspension is too high, the lower hull has the motorization holes, and the EVERYTHING is too thick.
Not quite what I expected in the fun department.
The next morning I spray-bombed it and set it inside to cure.
That afternoon we had to leave for Houston as my Wife's Grandmother had passed (95, she had a good run). Unfortunately, I would have never thought that our innocent little kitty was VietCong.

3 days later that fluffy little bag of crap spread parts all over the house (mainly the Poly-Capped Road Wheels). And the PE was in the mail box.
After I was finished laughing (and locating the majority of parts) the decision was made to rebuild this into a M67A2 in Hue during the Tet offensive and correcting what I can as I go.
First, the lower hull

Patches over the holes and I'm going to shorten the arm snubber thingies a little bit before I reattach the arms for the road wheels to see if that works.
