My apologies first if the link below doesn't work( 1st time I've tried) A while ago I posted about using two battered M4 kits as the basis of creating a Vc. The link is to show progress so far.
After 'shunting the front of the M4 upper hull to the rear of the M4 A3, the lower hull was cut into three, and stretched with spacers from scrap palsticard. I appealed for any help with spares, especially the gun barrel.
Big, big thanks to a fellow forum member, ( it's been so long I'm sorry but cannot remember who, but I am eternally grateful to you👍). I not only got the barrel, but all the track links and most of the parts I'd otherwise scratch build, he had spare from a Dragon kit.
It's far from decent yet, there's work to do, and certainly none of the finesse of any of the current kits. But, it's personal challenge I set myselfto test skills I have learned over 50 years of modelling. I know I'm not the best, but I get so much joy from building.
More importantly, in these times of the Covid pandemic, It's also a valuable antidote for my job as an A&E Ambulance ECA, and gives a little "Me time" from caring for my wife and son who both have serious health issues.
If this link works, I will try to put on a few more (aviation) models I have on my Facebook page.
If the link below works- please be kind 😌
