Looks good Pete. Care to tell us what kits this was combined from, or is it the old Italeri kit?

Hi Rob
It's actually the hull and running gear from the Italeri M4 USMc kit combined with the turret from the Academy M36 Jackson kit.

Great looking TD Pete Are the tools AM,or did you get them from another kit? Are you gonna try and get the first and last bogie units level,or are the tracks the Italeri brand and therefore to tight?

Hi Chad
The tools are mostly from various Academy kits and the tracks are indeed Italeri. Looking at pics it would seem that the tracks from the Tamiya jumbo kit would be better.
