Hello Tazz,
The M7 Priest is an awesome SP gun ! I have one in my stash I want to build realy bad, But I will wait till after all these group builds and campaigns are over with to build it. LOL! To many logs in the fire! Enjoy your Priest bud.
Cheers,
Garry

Enjoy it, Tazz! I modified mine a bit and shot base OD on it today. I'll give her a couple days to cure, then I'll hit her with washes and a bit of drybruching. I'llfinish off with some pastels.
Here's an in-progress shot. I'll post moreshots in a week or two, when I have more t show.
It's a nice post-war M7 right out of the box --

Oh man... Shermie was talking about doing one for the incoming campaign earlier today... he got me all warm and fuzzy inside, but I was eventually able to get over that... now you guys gotta bring that M7 up again....

Guys, from what manufacturer is this? I've heard of Italeri making a Priest, but it's pretty old (from the '80s i think). Is this the Italeri kit, or some new(er) release?
BTW, nice work there Hollowpoint!

It's probably a re-release of the original Italeri. After watching Kelly's Heroes today I have decided to build my M7 much like Oddball's little camp with his three Shermans. Gonna set up some tents, cooking fires and if possible some women!!

Tazz,be careful of those Italeri tracks Those tracks are tight fitting I have read where once they are put on the idler wheels will snap off Also if you don't make the bogies non-workable,the rear and forward bogies will curl up If you can,buy some AM tracks like RHPS or AFV Club They are easy to work with
