Thanks!

The M2HB is upside down in it mount, other than that beautiful work

Tom,

The drive sprockets appear to be not fully seated onto their mounts, leaving too large of a gap between the inner face of the sprocket and the differential housing.



This also appears to be keeping the tracks from meshing properly with the drive sprockets.

Banshee, the unit history states this was the trial AA position for the gun...! However upon a stoppage the barrel was pointed in a downward position so the feed cover/ plate could be cleared...unbelievable!

Overall the tank looks very nice! But,in my opinion, it is better for you to display the tank without snow weathering, even you want to explain that the tank was in active duty during December 1944 (I guess on winter man! ) as the text written. For the "blue-screen" background that you used above, the tank will be better displayed "plain" and I believe the photograph result will be more eye catching and the details, especially tracks, rivets, and chipping will be more specifically exposed. Well done mate Aaron and happy modeling!


Kind regards from Indonesia

Thanks everyone, I was away when this was posted and I have been offline for a while. While I realize it wasn't the most accurate build, I decided it would be worth a shot to enter in the DMOM contest. I have it currently set on a diorama base set in the Nijmegen Salient in December of 1944.

I realize the tracks are off, they were having huge fit issues, and after trying to fix them for years, I decided to say "screw it, it looks fine the way it is."

Thanks everyone for checking it out, I really enjoyed this build, even though it took a couple of years to get it so that I liked it.

:)
