Hey all,

I remembered seeing someone looking for pics of the Kengi M8 HMC a few weeks ago, but was unable to find the thread. Here's mine just prior to primer. The kit went together fairly well. Some air bubbles in the resin, but overall the fit was good, no major warping of parts and even the tracks behaved themselves. My one criticism is that it included an M5 light tank turret-mounted .30 cal when a .50 cal was the secondary armament for the M8. I've got a spare Verlinden .50 cal that I'll be putting on and I'll scratchbuild the skate mount.
