Hi all
I built revell germany's m7 priest a while back and i plan to redo it soon. I was looking at photos of m7s and noticed that it looked more like an m7b1 than an m7. For references when i do this project is it a safe bet to call the kit an m7b1?

Hi

Revell's Priest is a reboxing of the old Italeri kit #206. According to this article :
http://www.usarmymodels.com/ARTICLES/Building%20Italeri%20Priest/1%20Intro.html or this thread it's a "late war" M7 (not a B1, which was based on the M4A3 chassis))...

Alright thanks for clearing up the confusion I was scanning pictures on the internet and found an article about the M7B1 and it had a picture that was near identical to the kit but i see now that the kit is just a late production version
