Tuna that looks like a nice little kit. You have done very well with the build and also the painting. I am looking forward to seeing it weathered.

HI, The whole thing looks great, except the only thing i can think of that might need to be changed it the color of the pioneer tools, they were always painted the same color as the vehicle, and the wood would only show through the chipped paint on the handles if they were used alot. But other than that it looks great, keep it up.

Thanks Guys,

The kit is basically OOB with the exception of grab handles on the engine deck that I lost

so the Tracks are the Kit tracks...

It's really a beautiful kit.. AFV.. comes with a lil Etch and Metal Barrel..

Decals were a lil out of register so I did have to paint over some of the overlapping white..

Looking like a mighty fine M3A3 kit ! I really like that shade of green you have on it. Will look real good once weathered up. One thing you may want to fix are the two vertical seamlines on the front glacis plate, running up from the front fenders to the hull hatches. All reference I have looked at show a weld seam there. Other then that, it looks awesome !!

Cheers !!
