Yup. My Corgi US Army M48A3 does not have the rear tensioner wheels.  No surgery required!

But I would like some spare track blocks and road wheel to adorn it with.  Boxes, jerry cans, crates, etc. I already have.  So, Paul, here's a question:  Can one get a set of just the M48 spare stuff?  Please.  Pretty please...  8)

A clearer photograph of the heating exhaust (and where the second pipe went, and needs filling).


This is my problem with the track blocks.

I might have drilled the holes for the handrail a bit low.

The left hand side is not an issue (guess which direction the model sits on my desk).

The track sits mid way up onto the handrail so you look to have lots of room to spare  ;)

So, slow progress here (but more than on any of my other projects).

Definitely getting there. That’s looking good.

Don’t worry about the pace, it’s probably been quicker than my Mondrian Chieftain, which is just about finished…..

Looking good, great stowage, like the Teddy bear and the webbing.

Thanks.

Just got to add some straps to the jerry cans, smooth off the replacement rear mudguard and add some soft stowage.and it will be ready for painting.
