I just got and built this little guy and thought it was a good kit. very clean and farly easy to build. LOTS of small parts!! Some of which were hard to hold onto to clean. The kit is from Revell models. Here is a few pics of it, not painted yet. I am going to paint it desert tan for the current war. Also need to add the corgeted panel to the side-scratch built. All around a very nice kit.

Looks good, but you'll have to remove the swim barrier and support brackets that are molded on. If you want to make an M3A2 in use with 3-7 CAV, just putty over the two firing ports on the ramp door.

I've got this kit and plan to build it with the RoG M1A1.

In the second photo, along the top of the front hull there is a rolled up cloth-like object that makes a large "U" shaped figure. That is the swim barrier. Also when looking at the same photo just to the rear of the driver's hatch, under the plate with the shovel on it are the swim barrier support posts.
