Hi All
I'm building an Academy M36 and I was wondering if WWII Jacksons would have the usual pile of stowage on the rear hull?I've attempted to attach a(poor) pic of what I'm planning.Your thoughts and or links to pics would be greatly appreciated.

Here's your pic:



Your stowage plan will work -- just make sure you don't cover the grate over the engine. On the real thing, this was important to keeping the engine cool. Stowage went around it or hung off the sides. M36 crews seemed to hang a lot of stuff from the turret.

This is a pretty nice collection of stuff from Verlsinden. I have it for the M10, but have no idea how it will fit on an M36

Here's a few pics that should help with your stowage. Along with equipments stowed on the rear deck, you may want to load up the turret sides as in all three pics.
Keep Bob's suggestion in mind. It would be unrealistic for the crews to cover the engine grills, hence the loaded turret sides.
