This is a kit bash M1, using Trumpiters hull and Tamiys turret. I scratch built the engine, interior in turret and drivers compartment, all with Evergreen plastics. Oh ya the extra storage rack & APU. Here a fast run through, bakeing soda for non-skid, Tamiyas modern accessories, tea bag strings and added the fender springs. Still needs work eg; rear deck and engine doors, mud flaps and so on.

It's a very good effort, Mother.

Good work Joe, boy that is a lot of work. Thats the first one I seen with the engine setting in it. How long you been on this project, I bet longer then you can remember.
Keep up the good work

Impressive build. I'm amazed that you built that engine out of just sheet styrene.

Couple small items I spotted. Those two small square grill doors on the left side of the engine compartment are attached to the engine deck and would have come off with the back deck.

Second item is the spare road wheel. Normally one of those four bolts is removed and a longer bolt is replaced. The road wheel is lined up with the bolt hole and used to secure the road wheel to the turret top. I wouldn't bother to change either one, your build is really nice.
