Needed something to do untill the amphib campaign started so I broke out this M3A3, Eduard PE, and Verlinden Stowage. Wanted to pratice up on PE and resin. Hopefully I didn't miss anything, Let me know if you see something, or have any questions. One thing I have found out is that with more than one kit alot of overlay between kits happens, somethings are just to minor to mess with, and it makes the model last alot longer to complete. The most important is Pratice, pratice, pratice. Use that one on my wife to get supplies.

Thanks for looking,
Bob

Hey kilntime
Looking good! Like the dusty look on the hull. I haven't the patience to deal with this much stowage!

Well put together kit. The only nit picks I have are
1) no tie downs on the gear on the rear deck...the helmet and tarp would fly away

2) .30 cal needs a new barrel or maybe some viagra

3) no markings what so ever????

If you are going to mark it, it will have to be in French service as I believe the French are the only option when it comes to the M3A3 and the use of the US style tanker's helmets and the boxes of C-Rats & the US helmet on the rear deck.
