Sounds like your having fun. I built a Priest years ago by using the parts from the separate Italeri Kangaroo and gun kits. At least you have the instructions.Smile [:)]

I'm sure you will be happy with the build in the end.

Ga - sounds like you're moving along,

How did you like that "playtex bra gluejoint" on those front fenders ( you know - no visible means of support)

The one I did was a bear, until I cut them off and thru in some PE fenders


Good luck with the rest

Sounds great! I like the Priest also, first Sherman variant I ever drove. Just like an ol' White 5500 gallon refueler with laterals instead of a steering wheel!

Off and running Ga.modler. The Italeri kits can be a little more of a challenge, but the results can be great.
Make sure you post your progress in the Group Build too.
Happy Modelling and God Bless Robert
