Sorry about the late reply.
Thanks for the comments.

QUOTE: is that a winter camo job?
-rebelreenactor


Yes. At first I was not going to do it because I could not find a Jumbo's in winter camo for reference. Then I stumbled across a rich source of research material that had been sitting right under my nose. My university has quite a collection of material about the history of the Marine Corps, Navy, Army and Air Force.

I decided to use the decals for the 4th Armd. Div.

I have just finished attaching the pioneer equipment and have a few more accessories to finish and add (Like the 50Big Smile [:D]). I have to ready the tracks and do the final weathering. It is all out of the box or scratch built. I still need more practice before I start toying with PE parts. The deficiencies that had to be corrected were the sponsons (big hole), lack of detail on one side of boggies, dust guards, engine bay hatch rests and the rear deflector thickness. Every thing else I could live with. I'll post another pic soon.

Once again thank you for the support. And thanks shemanfreak for pointing out that the deficiencies are not too bad. At first I was worried they would be outrageous with the tamiya M4a3e2 kit.

Thanks

James
