Hi Martin,

Nice work so far. I think you might need to replace the tilts, they don't look right.

Nice paint job, look forward to seeing more.

Cheers

Al

Martin: the small cavalry insignia on the rectangle on the doors -- is that part of the kit or did you add them?

Martin, excellent job on a questionable kit. I'm no halftrack expert, and I've heard the kit's a dog, but I like what I see and how you've presented it !!!

Just took a peek at my half built M3.
Those are crossed cavalry sabres on the side of the doors.
That's a detail most manufacturers would have omitted or never considered to include.
Pretty amazing considering the age of the original molds, seeing that they come from the late 1960's - early 1970's.
Good one on the part of the original Tomy/Max Peerless mold makers.
Cheers
