here’s the progress on my Jackson so far… just waiting for a few things like the PE set from AFV for the headlight guards and whatnot, a resin set for the turret roof armour as this is going to be a Korean War Jackson… hope you like it… the detail inside is insane! I figured I’d try something that’s both classic and modern at the same time… been alot of fun building it…
comments welcome, criticisms too!
Looking good. This page has links to images from the M36 tech manual

There are three pages. Just click “successiva”
One thing: make sure you fill the seam where the transmission housing meets the bolt attachment strip. On the real thing, the strip was part of the housing and not part of the hull.
Here’s the transmisson on an M51:

That looks awesome! I like the details inside the fighting compartment.
Nice progress. I’ve been wondering what that kit was like. Thanks for posting.
Nice progress, James! I’m also impressed with the kit, the interior has some damn fine details, and the toolin’ looks exquisite! Real nice!
Thanks for the comments guys! And thanks for that link T26… definately helps alot, just wish I could read and understand what is written! Great interior shots of the turret which I’ve had a hard time finding!
looking good james something olive drab will be nice change of pace for you keep up the progress pics.
change of pace for you James![:D]-- looks like it’s gonna be a beauty–and you know me,man-- if it has interior pieces, that is really the frosting on the cake!!-- gonna keep my eyes on this one[^][:D]-- treadwell
Off to a good start James.
Treadwell: The interior is, I’m sure, basic at most, but wont be seen too much once I install the turret roof armour! It’s been fun though, and maybe one day I’ll get the ambition like you!
Biffa: yeah man, all I could see was sand for a little while there. I get on kicks sometimes where I just can’t get enough of researching something and I want to build every tank I see a pic of, hence the Merkava! though keep your eyes open for a few more of those!!!
Thanks for the comments guys, much appreciated!
