Hello,

Actually, I am doing a Academy M10 (reference with motor deteiled).

I need to do a complete rework of the compartiment motor doors, so I kindly ask for anyone have photos of this doors in real life (or modelling life) to share.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest you get a copy of the Squadron 'Walkaround M10' book to help you.

Finding pictures of the M10s engine doors on the net is a challenge, this site has one rather vague view of the interior of the doors

And Bjorn Clausen's site has some nice shots of the rest of the M10

Beware using the engine in the Academy M10, as it looks to me like Academy put the hull firewall too far to the rear, making the engine too small. I think Tiger Models make a resin version of the engine which may be better.

Okay, the correct title of the book should be

#5703 'Walkaround US Tank Destroyers'

as it's not just about the M10

thanks drader,

I have been trying to make the grill homemade but...I haven't success.

Do you know some photoetched with this pieces. I think Aber have a new release with this ones (I read it in a spanish magazine called 'euro modelismo') but in their web site catalogue don't appear ¿?.

best regards,

Looks like there might be some grills in this set

The picture is a bit too small to tell.

This is the resin engine I mentioned yesterday

I had a look at a few books last night and the M10s engine is so large that the transfer case (at the front of the engine in this pic (below) sticks right through the firewall into the fighting compartment. The two raised boxes on the floor of the fighting compartment are for generators mounted above the transfer case.
