this is coming along nicely, and I can't wait to see the finished project, as I'm sure it's going to be awesome when it's all done!

Thanks, I can't wait to be done with it, lol.

Very cool. I've seen models with interiors and I've seen models with crews but I don't think I've ever seen a model with a crew in action in the interior.
Great build.

Looking forward to seeing some more.

Mike, just came across your build. Really ambitious and very nice work. I'm going to be following along as you go. I haven't done a treadie in years so I am pretty much in the same boat as you...it's all new to me

yeah so far it looks like this is going to be a slam dunk build!

I'd love to be able to sit down and do such a ambitious build, but I simply couldn't

The build is really taking a lot longer than I thought it would, and there is a lot of little details that I'm still not sure why I added lol. But in the end, I think it will all pay off. As I've never air brushed a model before, I'm a bit worried about th paint job. I'll post some more pictures as soon as I take them. Thanks for the feedback.

So, here I am, not too much has gotten done in the past week. I built a paint booth so I can airbrush my tank, gotten the upper and lower hulls out together, the driver in place, and the mine roller bra together and on the front of the tank. The problem I'm running into is the decals... I need to get/make custom decals, and have no clue on how to do this. I know I can get the right decals for my battalion numbers, but I also need unit and bumper numbers. As well as the gun tube name (our tanks were NATO 3 tone and the names were in CARC Tan). If anyone can help me that would be great. Information on how to do this or even make them for me (I'll pay)

Thanks for the help. I'll try to post some progress pics a bit later.
