Way back in April 2005 Steve Zaloga built up the Tamiya Pershing with Accurate Armour's conversion as the T26E1 Pilot modified by the 33d Armored Regiment of 3d Armored Division. A year later Tamiya down-sized their 35th kit to the One True Scale. I started a project. Soon afterwards Steve Faxon issued a conversion kit that helped! Then I got more reference, couldn't get the resin gun barrel to stay straight, lost interest and put it way. This is what it looks like today... I've disassembled the lower hull and removed the suspension arms to alter the sit to the very nose down look of the original. The pathetically short dampers have been removed as well. I had added the underside detail as I do that sort of thing see the other project for the bare original which offends my sensibilities. I've found that an old credit card fits the slots the dampers leave behind perfectly so they're filled and hardening. There is a lot to be done but as things are slowing down at work now we've got the shops filled I'll have regular bench time. Apologies to Shermaniac for not doing the M4A2E4 I had definitely decided to do yesterday!

Is there a thread yet to sign up for this group build?? If so, I can't find it and would appreciate a link. Regards Mike

Welcome to the ninth annual KUTA (Kick Up The Elbow) GB. This is a chance for everyone to make some space on the Shelf of Shame - no doubt so we can fill it up again with other unfinished builds... The GB will run from 0001 29 October 2016 to 2359 29 January 2017. (UK local time) The rules are similar to other GBs. Each build will require a build thread in the forum. Multiple builds are allowed in one thread but please try and make sure that they are similar builds. Two tanks in one thread is fine. A tank and a plane in one thread might get a bit confusing. No buying and selling in the GB forum. Please do that in the proper place. There will be a poll at the end of the GB. There will be no prizes except the the karma of completing an unfinished build. Please do not canvas for votes, either here or elsewhere. The 25% rule is obviously suspended for this GB. So that's it folks. Go ahead and enjoy yourselves and clear as much of that shameful shelf as possible!
