I finished this a couple days ago. Built OOB. The only thing I did extra was a little "gizmology" for a drivers compartment. Wasn't at all concerned about accuracy, I just wanted to give the Illusion of a complete interior with the turret in place. As usual, All comments are welcome....negative and positive. Enjoy!

looks good, Perfect timing too, I'm about 85% of the way done my old tamiya kit. One thing I may point out is if your not using sand skirts the front fenders should probably be cut back to flush with the nose, you can see a line moulded on the fender. Its a fun build though eh? I just now managed to find the english instructions!

I have an odd question...

The words "Classy Peg" are on this HMC, yet I saw the same words on my Hobby Boss 1/48 M4A3...

Why is it mentioned on different vehicles? Is is a division/brigade/unit nickname or it it just a coincidence?

Eric,
Point taken on the fenders. And yes, It was a fun build. I have been building alot of the old Tamiya kits....They are not the best for accurracy but she are friendly to build.

Stuart,
I personally do not know. I am not even sure the "classy peg" decals came with this M8 kit. I may have used them from a different kit.

Haha maybe from an M4A3 kit! lol

yup, the classy peg decals are from the clasic M4a3 W tamiya kit, for a tank in the phillipines(sp?) I believe. Just needs the wolf head!

Superb, thanks Eric. I don't think the hobbyboss instructions tell me where the tank was serving so that's brilliant.

Cheers!!!

Nice work on the HMC by the way. I really like the mucky effect!!

yep, I checked it, "classy peg" was serving in the philippines, I've seen a neat picture of her rolling by a destroyed japanese tank, I think its in the squadron sherman book
