Last weekend I uploaded a bunch of M1A1 fotos to primeportal.
I hope that they will provide some help to the new DML M1A1 builders.

I am still waiting to receive my own copy from the LHS, hopefully it will get in today.

I also posted some pics of the Dutch national war and resistance museum in Overloon (located in the south-eastern part of the Netherlands), mostly WWII subjects and no specific details but it should give a nice overview of what to expect should someone want to visit.

It's over here:

I hope you will enjoy them,

Having been to Overloon myself, i can confirm that it is a very good museum and one that is well worth a visit if you are in the area. Espexially noteworthy is the sculptures of the concentration camp inmates, a very moving piece of work.....thanks for posting the pphotos Marc

I was in Overloon last month. Very nice Museum.
The older part cover the waWW2 in Netherland, and in the new part there is the full collection from the Marshall Museum.
This collection cover principaly all things about transportation (WW2 and after)

I am glad that you guys like the pictures.

I finally received my M1A1 AIM yesterday!!
It is indeed very impressive, it almost leaps out of the box and in real life looks even better then the pictures that I have seen on the web.

Now it will be even harder to start and finish my other M1 kits, they now look very outdated.

Greetings, Marc
