Hello,

Just so happens that I am working on a M5A1 myself. I used the Verlinden interior and exterior detail sets. There are some other exterior detail sets out there but I don;t know of any other interior sets at the moment. For tracks I am using the AFV Club Steel Cleat individual link tracks on my M5A1. They are a bit tedious to work with and have a sink hole on the backside of each link that you need to sand down and fill. So it does take some clean up time. But the look can't be beat. As an alternative you could pick up an Academy M3 Honey and use the vinyl tracks or the individual link tracks they also give you in the same kit. A plus on Honey kit for sure.

On my model I decided not to try and correct the hull length as it is a bit short. I did add the weld seam to the sides as well as the bolt detail and that was it. Hopefully one day soon Academy or AFV will release an all new M5and M5A1 for us.!!!!

Best wishes on your project and have fun!
Deacon :-) :-) :-)
