Thank you Chris! I’ll take credit for the build, but the presentation is mostly due to Bruce’s coaching me on photography. :wink: 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 :hmm: 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. :nono:
