Got started on this one last night and so far it hasn't been too bad.

The result of no sleep! :D
Almost done but blurry photos from lack of sleep. :P

Any pointers as to what needs attention?

"Any pointers as to what needs attention?" Saul ask.

Just make sure that slab sided lower hull is square,other than that it's not the best but yet it's not bad. The gun is complete but leaves a lot to be desired.
I guess I shook the camera a little when I snapped the shot.

Now I need the M5A1 late #35161,it seems all the USA venders are sold out. :(

Now we see the great work!

The vendors on eBay are out of the question with the unfortunately high shipping prices.

I checked my stash and I have the kit. Check your PM.

Update

More detail added:
The 30cals are pretty simple,the barrels are not drilled out but do have a dimple that makes the drilling in the center easier.
The grousers for the turret sides are a two piece affair and you have to install one end plate which is very very small so make provisions to catch these and not feed the carpet monster.

B) Nice Tony. Thanks for the comparison. I have never seen these versions side by side - I definately like the later versions shape much better.
