God I'm just happy when it comes out looking better than the pictures on the box! Italeri's good 'ole M7 Priest with Eduard PE details, Dragon .50 cal. and individual rubber chevron tracks with duckbill extenders, stowage from various suppliers. eduard's front fenders were a bit narrow so I made my own from paper.

Hi Mike,
Very nice. Good weathering and I really like the job you did on the extra stowage. I'd go .
Regards,
Joe

Hi Mike,

I absolutely like what you did to this old kit - it looks just great and really captures the essence of this vehicle. Very nice paint and weathering job. I really would like to give some constructive critisism but you did a perfect job in my book. How much time did you spend on this labor og love project?

Looking forward to see your next creation.

Best regards from Denmark

Thanks Morten,

Spent 5 days, next project? Started 4 days ago-Italeri Calliope:




Nexy project 251C.
Haven't started yet maybe 2-3 days off.

Calliope and Bison II on ebay Sunday if my Centaur sells for a decent price.

Wow! Nicely done on the M7 Priest! The interior looks really nice with the stowage equipment you placed.

Was that epoxy sculpt that you used to cover the stowage gear at the rear?

That's a one piece casting from some aftermarket company or another-I can't remember what one though.
