This is the italeri reissue of the M24.
I added a jordi cannon and the set of equipment from Blast Models.
The kit and and the set are both of great quality. there were a few bubbles on one of the parts of the blast set, but they ware very small and that was solved very easily with a tiny bit of putty.
A few parts of the italeri kit need to be thinned down a bit and the protections of the lights had to be replaced by some metal sheet.
I inted to use this model in an "ardennes" dio, with resin figures from Nemrod and MK35.
Please tell me what you think of it, good or bad !

I like the look of that stowage set, of course it would be suitable for almost any vehicle, very useful. The Chaffee, is looking excellent, keep us posted...Jim

wewillhold : I'll be using the tracks from the kit !
They look OK for me. I don't feel single link tracks are necessary for american tanks, as thay show no sag at all.

It looks nice Penpen. Do the roadwheels need a bit of extra work? From the pics it seems that some seams are left on them...
