Some WIP shots of my Meng M2A2. Pretty much OOTB with a few minor enhancements here and there. I've redone the anti slip areas using Chinchilla Dust Bath (from a pet store) fixed in place with AK Sand and Gravel Fixer.
I have a few more enhancements to make an would ideally like to leave the bottom row of ERA blocks off so will need to scratch the 10 loop steps that aren't included in the kit (bad omission there Meng )

Nice kit but the soft plastic does pose some challenges when removing parts from the sprue. Tracks are superb though
Still a fair way to go until paint but getting there.

Looking pretty good. It is an M2A3 though, not an M2A2. The CITV on the right rear of the turret makes it an A3.
