I'm just slow. I did the infantry phone on the green hull, took me about two hours..... and how in the world did I not notice I have this topic double-posted?

Okay, I'm a dork. I'll use "this" one from now on, Mods, if you're watching, can you delete the other one?

Looks like they're coming along nicely to me.

Got plenty of bench time, I'm just too friggin' lazy to move very fast though.

Still plugging along here, doing lots of hear scrtching and page flipping. The Lion And Lioness of the Line book has lots of good pics and drawings, which help. I also need to order a couple more of the series, after the first of the year though...

These pics aren't quite current, but it's been a very busy week at work. I need some bench time in a bad way.

Looks like you've put in a heap of work there. Very impressive.

Rther than clutter up the M51 thread, I thought I'd break these two out since they've really got my attention now....

In order to stay straight on what I was building, I did the engine decks and under-hull radiator areas along with the respective exhausts. The Dragon hull will be a very early M50, built from the M4A4T, extra-rare due to the cast final drive cover but not unheard of, while the MP hull will be an early Cummins engined M50.

So far:
