Simply wonderful! how are you going to paint it? post more pics!
Coming along very nicely Bob !!
I only pic out one small detail that may need a little attention. The end of your barrel looks like it may be a little off center. But then again it could be the pics … or my eyes !!!
That’s a nice clean build, I think its great once you get some weathering done it’ll be cool!
Looks great[:D][:D][:D] Did you paint it in enamels or acrylic. What color did you paint the rims of the tracks Rust if so i need to get a new bottel.
Post pics when your done.
very nice looking!!!
Looking good!
Looking great so far. Keep us posted, please.
you’re about as far as I am on my Bradley, good build by the way!
I don’t see any problems with it Bob. Very nice looking tank. Thanks for sharing.

thanks for the kind words folks. Shermie, the angle of the turret in the pic makes the barrel look funky. ( thats my story and I’m sticking to it!) Modelkid, I used “polyscale model railroad colors: rust”. I think I’ll try their “grimy black” really thinned as a wash. Maybe a few other colors until it “looks” right. Thanks again all. Bob
Bob ,looking grt8,post when totally done
Nice job Bob. How’s the build gone on the kit so far? I almost got one, but opted for another.
tigerman, it’s been ok so far. I am not an expert, so keep that in mind. I didn’t like the way the racks went together. They seem to be the wrong length. the overall fit is good. Of course the tracks could stand to be tighter (shorter), but then I probably couldn’t get them on! I still have to make the antennas. There is no interior and I wish there were some accent pieces. ( ie. tools, extra track links, etc.) The instructions show motors and such for making this kit a toy. Much the same as my tamaya m8 motor carriage. I would build another Academy kit.
Looking Good. Keep it up.
Nice looking M1…your’e almost there…

Very good build so far. I have done the same kit last year. It is a cool kit to worked on. A little weathering will sharpen that baby a little bit.
Keep us posted.
Over all it looks great 13B20… The only thhing that I saw that looked a little off was the track as it comes down off the idler wheel it seems to be a bit loose… But that could be all the medication I am on :P… I wish my M1 looked as good… You may have said already but how did you get the paint job on the tracks to look so good??? I can’t wait to see more pictures of the build…

Nice build. Can’t wait to see the finished product!
