Here are some more progress pics of the M24 Chaffee and AM parts gifted to me by TankCarl. It is ready for gloss coating so I can do some oil washes and also some detail painting.

I made the engine hatch from scratch so I could have it open to display the Verlinden engine set. The tracks are MK and while boring to put togeather were OK to do. This is my first armor model and my first use of AM tracks.

All comments Welcomed









more pics of the build can be found here http://photos.kitmaker.net/showgallery.php/cat/14789

It looks sweet,Roo.If you used the kit supplied antenna, it always looked too large in diameter to me.I always stretched some sprue for mine.
Will you be able to get better lit picture of the engines?

Carl at the moment the model is in a display in the local toyshop window for a couple of weeks. I realised the kit aerial is too large and will change it once I get the model home again. I will also try and get better pics of the engines as well at some point.

thanks for the comments
