Combined a Italeri M7 with the rear hull of a Tamiya M4A3, Should have used an Italeri- Heller M4A3 due to differences in size. Almost had it finished when it got dropped! Still requires a last flat coat to remove shine. Used Academy tracks and bits and pieces from spares box. Hope you like it.

Was there much damage? It's not apparent in the photos...

Hi Doug,
Hard for me to see much from the photos. These old eyes aren't that good. Seems to be a decent job.

That wasnt an accident. Those "dings and gouges" were gods way of telling you it needed more battle damage! :-) Looks good to me!

Thanx Gary (troubble27) I was worried that it would not turn out at several points during construction and especially after dumping her on the soft concrete floor.
