Here it is.
My 1/35 Tamiya M3Lee.




I added some details and did some scratchbuilding on the rear of the tank.

As always any questions or comment are welcome.

It's looking pretty good. I like the Army Air Corps style stars on the tank. It makes for a different look.

I like the the slight trace of dirt & mud on the model, instead of it being caked on!!

Great job!


Jeff

Good job

Pretty nice.
Some suggestions for future projects: A little over-weathered. I'd try to focus on washes and drybrushing of the base colour to create the illusion of some shadows, then throw on the mud

Thanks guys.

The stars came with the kit and as supposed to have been used by the 2nd armor. They do a good job of adding some color to the tank.

I’m still getting the hang of weathering.
I was going for the dusty look.

Young fella, looks pretty good.
Practice will improve the weathering.
Next time remember right tailight isn't red.
(My personal pet peeve!) :-)

Jacob,

Good job with the old M3.

Now that you've built it once right out of the box, it might be the right kit to try some aftermarket upgrades as a way to make your modelling skills even better. The tracks on this kit are horrible and you might want to upgrade to an aftermarket set of AFV rubber band tracks with the end connectors between the pads as opposed to alongside each pad.

Another good upgrade is to replace the roadwheels. The kit's wheels have six spokes, but the real thing only ever had five. It's an easy fix and wheels can be had from a number of suppliers. You can also salvage an old Italeri M4A1 for it's wheels and get the rear idler assembly as well to replace the formless blocks that the Tamiya kit gives you.

Each of these requires a bit more skill, but makes for a much better model. Once you feel comfortable with these modifications, you can try more challenging things like swapping the upper hull with the Grant kit to get the correct rear engine deck, modifying the turret to have the right shape and a number of other upgrades, all of which will keep building your skills as a modeller.

I've built 3 or 4 of these kits over the years and for each one I made more difficult modifications in a bid to make the model as good as I could. The alst one is looking pretty good. I'll probably finish it this spring and I'll post some photos.
