Thanks for the link to Cookie's review Ron. I've been waiting to see one. After reading CS's full review, I must conclude "it's a go"

It's good off course, but the interior is like the previous M-10 which i'm working on) just the turret is different.
I'm always waiting for these, which will be produced in 2004 :

M4A2 Early version
M3 Lee Bolted hull
M3 Grant "British"
M3 Lee Cast hull
