M51 ISHERMAN "THE LOST BUILD"

Well I did this build on another forum, and well some on that forum would not be particularly friendly to me had they known who was doing the build. However this forum is for the most part dead and I no longer care what the owner thinks. Why do it then? I had something to prove I guess. This was part of GB. The last one completed on that site. It had over 3000 hits on that site. It has won numerous awards and two best of shows including Eaglequest. I see no reason to hide it from my friends any longer. The following are the finished build pictures. The next posts how the build progressed. I hope you enjoy what was done. I don't usually brag about the work I do, but this is one of my favorites.

The model is the M51 Isherman by Tamiya a wonderful kit, however I did add some parts from the Dragon version. Things began with the wheels and chassis.

Sweet looking M51 Terry. The Tamiya version of it is miles ahead of the DML or Academy. They have a home run with this kit. :good:

It looks like the colors don't match, but they will in the end.

that's Awesome Terry!

Seems a shame that you didn't feel able to share it until now!

I don't understand why some people can't play nice on these forums!!

:idonno
 
Thanks Warren!

Ok moving on to the turret and you can see the colors now match.
