M3 Finished

Made the decals today - Only needed side numbers - DullCoated… Going on the shelf.

Excellent job!! I can really appreciate the work you put into it, too. Looks great. Did you enjoy the gun breech assembly as much as I did?

I didn’t find the breech too bad,just walked away from it for awhile.came back then walked away again[:D] Then let my bird finish it…
Hey when you are clear coating,and dullCoating DUULLCoatting,r are U yoou supooseed tooo do it inn a vennntalattted aaarea???

Nice job on the Stuart. I’m working on the 1/35 Academy kit, but haven’t got to the gun breech yet.

Regards, Rick

looks awesome, i fear having to do decals i havent done any yet, yours look amazing any tips for a new guy?

Well from one new guy to another…These were my first, That I made anyway.I used the testors paper. Printed them up cut them out, put them in water slid them on. Now there are other steps, And I believe there are threads on the subject that would give better info then I could.
I do know from the past,I will keep the area really wet as I slide it on and even add more as I work it. When satisfied. I dry it with a tissue.
That’s about all I know… Good Luck

Rick
Just take your time. and put things together several times before gluing it up!Even at that check several more times. That will make it all clear befor GLUE…

Looks great! Love the weathering on it… nice job. Seen a few of those lately, think I may hafta pick one up…

Wow!! That about sums it up for me. The amount of work put into the project is evident.
Thanks for sharing.

Ventilation? We don’t need no stinking ventilation! Besides, if I opened a window, that blue monkey that keeps staring at me from outside might get in

Nice work. Really like the whole effect you have there. You did the machine proud

LOL that’s funny[(-D]

Thank You all , your tooooo kind[^]

Nice Stu! Which kit is it, the Academy? I’m about to begin the AFV Club M3A3.

M.

Yes it’s the Academy… I’m working on an AFV M10 - good quality from AFV…They make good stuff…

You did a great job, Ken. I’m doing the Academy Honey. I guess I probably have the same troubles you guys had waiting for me.

Really no problems - just take your time - check everything out before glue - The parts are really really really small - and tweezerpult quite nicely. You’ll enjoy the build…

excellent build Ken!![tup]

You did a very fine job on that M3. Congratulations.

Not bad for a former tank commander! Very nice job Ken, I’ve been fortunate enough to see it first hand, and I’ll tell you all he did a super job. OK Ken, I said what you told me to say do I get the model now? LOL. Semper Fi, mike
