Looking for any literature to assist in building an M41 : The Osprey Manual no. 10 (Modelling Postwar Tanks) has an article which only manages to confuse one further with bad editing and no proper /usefull info - so far have not been able to determine whether a proper / full-build article was perhaps done in some other publication ? (By H.R.Cabos)
(Have 2x M24 Chaffee and one M1A 155mm Howitzer donor kits, etc)
Photos available of surviving examples in various U.S. museums don't show enough.Any info / advice greatly appreciated....

I built this one, using the same route, 2xChaffees and a 155mm Howitzer kit about 15-20 years ago. I seem to remember using plans available at the time from Mil Mod magazine in the UK.

As soon as I get back home I will check through my files. I still may have the drawing or at least the address I obtained it from.

Some years ago, I published an article in Finescale modeller with drawings. Perhaps, it can help you.

Greetings Pedro, appreciate your reply, and thank you for doing that article -
I am searching for that particular magazine, unfortunately not something one would come across too easily here in South Africa, but will do an Internet purchase if all else fails.


Many thanks gentlemen for your replies! Isn't it great when a request for something you would imagine as being rather obscure is answered like this !

Thanks and kind regards
Peter
