This was built a few years ago. It features On the Mark etch as well as various scratchbuilt details. The tracks are the kit supplied link and length. The tow cable didn't come out as well as I had hoped, it was built from ship rigging twine and brass tubing for the crimps. I did manage to find a second kit to supply the proper sized third fuel tank.

It really looks good. I like the way you took the photos. It appears almost real. Great effect. the weathering looks very well done Cheers

looks good like the light weathering looks like its just heading onto the training area,
I like the way you have added the back drop to looks very realistic :-)

WOW !! That is a great tank ! I have never had a lot of fun with the ESCI kits ( the m1 and the m1a1) . The amount of work that you put into this tank shows through , my link and legnth tracks always look awful ! yours look great. The commanders cupola turned to the side and the machine gun cover is a nice touch . Keep up the good work .
P. S. great pics , the 1st and last ones look very real !

What I really liked on this one was the Canvas Covering on the MG!!!

I also hear this is a tough kit compared to the Tamiya, so that makes it that much better that it came out so nice!

very nice model!!! looks real
regards :-)

Thanks everybody,
The "backdrop" is my backyard, The photos were taken on a nice sunny day during the summer. Set the base up on a table and adjusted the tripod height to blend it into the background.

Later.

Very nice job. I like the backround alot. U 'da man :-) :-)
