Inspired by the pictures found in Panzerwrecks, I decided to build this one of (?) used by the Germans.

It's the Academy kit (good fit, mediocre level of details) with some details added and backdated from an M3A1 to M3 (omitting the ring mount and scratchbuilding the rear of the hull). The Wurframen are from Dragon's 251 series.

Cheers
Rob

Thanks Brad !

They actually did, and I was surprised when I first saw the pictures in Panzerwrecks 3.

You can find some pictures here, if interested:
