This was one of my first tries at scratchbuilding. It's about 90% scratchbuilt, again, I used the M977 from Italeri. I don't think I put alot into this model but being one of my first major scratchbuild models, I think it's okay. The scale is as usual, 1/35 scale.

I did not find alot pics on this model so some areas may not be 100% accurate. One area I am not too sure about is the rear. So if something doesn't look right, then please forgive me

Note, I forgot to paint the metal inner parts of the stabilizer in these pics but I've corrected it. At the time I didn't know they had replacement tires so I used what came in the M977 kit. I tried my best to make it look reasonably good but it still looked horrible. Anyway, it was fun to build.

That is a beautiful piece of scratchbuilding. Making a model in this way with that level of detail is quite an undertaking and you have made a superb job of it. Thanks for the pictures.

Charles,

That is a very fine looking model and well worth being proud of,
As for the tyres, they look very realistic and worn like the real things which adds nicely to the whole effect of the model...better than the usual high gloss brand new look tyres that you see on some models.

Regards.....Mark
