Very nice kit. Questiion is are you the only builder or is this built on an assembly line for sale on ebay? Years ago I helped produce a few kits along with a couple of other modelers where we each had a specific job todo. I still think that these posts should be in the vendor item since they are linked to an ebay store via the users profile.

Excellent work! One thing though it not a M3A2, its a M3A1. The M3A2 never made it into production.

I really like the weathering and all the kit - cool!

Theres a nasty seam on the front tires that could use some sanding.

TAMIYA product's this model is called as M3A2, I also saw from the material with the model consistent picture, has some differences truly with M3A1, in mine impression, M3A2 is the vehicles which serves in WWII.

Ummm...

It's clearly an M3A2. the 'ladder' like racks on the side, and the extended pulpit armor is a dead give away. This isn't an M3A1.

The M3A2, never saw combat so loading it up with gear and such is very much a 'what if ' scenario. Really no different than all those paper panzer builds one may see while surfing the net.

All that aside it shows that someone has some talent here, because it's quite nice looking.
