I was just wondering if anyone had any advice on building the old ESCI 1/72 M3 Scout Car? I found one on ebay and got it, only to find many of the parts are crude.

Hello Matt!
But that's the point of those ESCI models - they let you show off your skill and demonstrate what beautiful model you can build out of that old and simple kit!
More seriously, the thing is how bad do you want to build it? I mean it's a very special type of fun, but you can improve that kit by getting photoetch for it, maybe some 3D printed parts, replacing some armor with thinner styrene sheet or sheet metal - many possibilities you just need some time and will to do it. Or you might just put it together in one or two hours and concentrate on the painting - that could be fun, too. The most important factor is your mindset here. Good luck with your Scout car and have a nice day

Thank you! I never thought of it like that, although I have seen some aftermarket kit for it on ebay. I guess I'll give it a shot! Say, know any reference material on the White M3?
Matt- The Antique Auto Aero Museum in Hood River, OR has one. They might be able to send you some pics and data on it. Just do google for WAAAM and they should show up.
Thank you! But I only saw a phon number and no email.

Squadron makes a walk around book for the M3A1 #5720. Has really good full color photos of the exterior and interior. Price isn’t bad either it be be had for around $10.
Also a walkaround on Prime Portal.

All that is left is to add the .50 cal and the radio and anttena. :)
She looks good to me. Nice work!
Is there anyway you can post larger photos though? She is kinda hard to see (and my eyesight isn't the greatest).

Here you are.
Hello!
Now we're talking! It's lookin' good. Did you have fun? If so, then I guess you'll build more of those 1:72 babies now!
Thanks for sharing and have a nice day

Of course to both! I love it!
Nice work! The grille looks a little odd from the front but otherwise great job!
