M3a1 Halftrack... DONE!!!

Looks very good Jesse, keep up the good work

nice job... thx for sharing!

I get the dreaded red "X". So, I'm unable to view your pics. It sounds like you put alot of work into your project. Perhapes I'll see it at a later date. Semper Fi, mike

Jesse. Just got a view of your M3. Real nice job. The detail work is outstanding. Thank you for sharing this build with. Look forward to seeing more of your work. Semper Fi, mike

Looking very good. tough I would consider a dusting cover over the wheels as in the feild they are never straigth black they uselly have a grayish color due to wear and dust.

one thing I noticed after a quick glance at my References..

The M3 had the .50 cal pintle mount.. which was found unsatisfatory and was changed to the M49 ring Mount in the M3A1.. in addition a large number of M3's were upgraded to M3A1's because of this.

Also the Storage racks on the Back of the Tamiya kit were developed for the M3A2 which never saw production because by the time it was ready for production there was no need for them.

when I built this Kit I did it straigt out of the box.. it was my first military vehicle and someday I will do it again just because I liked it so much...

Looks very good to me, great job! What's next on your list?

Ah, a kit that so many people seem to wish for. I say you've done a good job. I know little about them, so near as i can tell, it looks very nice. I do agree about the rubber being a bit too dark. Still, that is a small nitpick.

after looking closely at the pic i must say that is a fine build. one that will proudly be displayed. good work.

Its makes me want to pull out my kit and get started on it.Good job,it does look go.Digger

Good job! really good detailing and a good paint job. it looks good but i'd add some dirt to the wheels and tracks enless you don't want it to look dirty and grity. either way it is still an amazing model.

Nice work, I have one in my pile to get to someday, and I'm hoping to get a few of the aftermarket kits to make a few tank destroyers from this basic model as well. Good work on yours.

Very nice work! Only curiosity I have is in regards to the large red thing draped across the hood?

your halftrack looks great,i have the m3a2 from tamiya [still in the box ] i will do it one day.

Air-identification panel

Scorn is right. It is an air identification panel. Unfortunately, I made it too red. It should be more orange.

Thanks all for the comments. You are the first (besides my wife) to see and comment on any of my models.

Thanks again,
Jesse

That's what I figured, but wanted to be sure...especially since it's covering the large white star on the hood. Thanks for the clarification.
