Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Are you going for an Egyptian M4 Sgt. ? Maybe with the transplanted AMX turret ? If so looking forward to seeing it built. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sussed me.....Yup it's this: But only once the M4A1s are built (not painted).....I'm inundated by sprues at the moment, so I literally can't start on it until I'm clear. I'll be using bits of the UM M4A4 & M4A2 kits, a Model Miniatures turret and gun (if I can salvage the muzzle brake).....If anyone knows of an alternative sorce for this gun in 1/72 it would be very welcome. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 You'll probably get a lot more views if you put the English translation first 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 It was just a bit of a teaser TBH fella, I've added a translation to the title and I'll amend it properly once there's actually something worthwhile to see (my components list might change quite radically yet).....At the moment it's a lot of bits that I can't take photos of because there are M4A1s or their sprues everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted January 30, 2018 Author Share Posted January 30, 2018 I was impressed that the engine grabbed it so happily, and that it also appears to automatically switch to right to left cursor movement when writing in Arabic.....Clever stuff.

Ozzy Posted January 30, 2018 Share Posted January 30, 2018 Nice one sarge, when your initial post popped into my in box I thought Britmodeller had been hacked. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be careful what you wish for.....Another 'Oh FFS! ' moment courtesy of UM: You cannot imagine how irritating this is for me! PS - Having said that I can already see mistakes on that kit, but on the other hand their muzzle brake won't be full of bloody bubbles. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleeperService Posted February 7, 2018 Share Posted February 7, 2018 Good choice Sarge but a bit of a challenge in 48th. I've got Vasko Barbic's article from Mil Mod to hand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't suppose I could get a scan of theat could I fella? I'll be working mostly from tourist photos of the preserved example and a build article I found on (IIRC) Armorama.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Hey Sgt. Hows this moving ? Haven't seen anything for awhile on it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt.Squarehead Posted March 2, 2018 Author Share Posted March 2, 2018 Not going to happen in the timescale sadly, I got into a bit of a funk over using the wrong kits for my M4A1 build and have mostly just 'stared resentfully at them' for a while. I'm over it now, but whatever was I thinking? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Heath Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Shame, looked like an interesting variant. Hopefully it will happen sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
