Wow!!! Amazing work correcting this kit. Should not have to do all that to a "new" kit but good on you for tackling this. I'm stunned as to how much is wrong with the original kit.

Pawel, using your work as a guide i've started hacking apart the "new" M103A2. You can see my progress here: https://armorama.kitmaker.net/forums/230397&page=1

Pawel, if i may ask, what did you use as your primary filler? is that auto body filler (bondo) that i see in your pics? I'm trying to use milliput and apoxie sculpt, but neither has the consistency or smoothness i'm looking for. I think i might go down to the store and just get some bondo.

I used Magic Sculp (a flesh colored version, http://www.magicsculp.co.uk/ ).
