From the research I have done for this project I believe the M-47 was still in use up into the mid 90s in Bosnia along with a selection of WWII vintage tank destroyers. So yeah, they had a LONG career in the export market... :)

Looking good Kenneth. I did'nt realize that it was still being used by some countries. In the movie 'Battle of the Bulge" it was used as German Armor. Nice paint job.

A little something i've been working on for the past couple of months. It represents a Croatian M-47 that was recovered by US peacekeepers about 9 years ago in Bosnia and brought back to the states.

The old Italeri kit was a great kit to work with and easy to update if you like. For my subject I had to scratch build new fenders front to back and a number of other things...

Here is a shot of it before paint...

And as it sits now... All of the paint treatments were done according to the few photos I could find of the actual tank.

Tracks are in progress as well. AFV Club T84E1s. They are time consuming but not difficult at all to assemble if a little common sense is thrown in the pot... Big Smile

Once it's finished i'll toss up another photo...
