Hello all.

This is a "what if" project about world war 2 continues and more heavy weapons using by Americans on European soil, winter 1947.

Kit is Takom's excellent (except tracks) T29E3. I added some modifications, numerous details and figures will be added too.

Looking great. The bustle rack is a nice addition. You can add canister holders on each side too.

How do you plan to paint it?

Thanks a lot Nikos, I will be add some details, maybe another canister holder too. I am planning to paint classic olive drab, but I may add winter camo on it, I don't exactly decide yet. This tank, 7 or 8 figures and a motorcycle will be on a street scene in Northern France, January 1947.

Are the Rangefinder hatches moulded closed in the kit?

Yes they are. Actually the whole front of the rangefinder on each side is given as a separate piece with the hatch molded closed.

is looks interesting, as well as plausible. Is the mantlet cover part of the kit or did you modify it? Look forward to how you finish this.

Mantlet cover is a part of the kit but I did some minor modifications on it.
