Another superb AFV Carlos. Well done. Have to mention the excellent presentation as well
Thank you Chris! I’ll take credit for the build, but the presentation is mostly due to Bruce’s coaching me on photography.

I must give credit where credit is due!

Impressing work Carlos, the paintwork is truly outstanding!
Those extra fueltanks makes the build so much more unique.
And finally, great to put a Jeep next to the M3A1, shows really well how tiny the tank is!

Thanks Kari! The external fuel tanks certainly do alter the look of the tank

And I sure do agree that the comparison shot with the jeep model does give a true perspective on the minimal size of this tank. I sure would not want to be assigned to live and fight in such a small vehicle.

Thanks Mike! I’m happy that you finally did find this one and took the time to comment. At least you did!
