Oh! yes mate.

I can't wait for them either mate so you're not alone.

Daz: I'm certain my resin M26A-1 will need a mate or two.... :P

Thank you, everyone, for your positive comments. I hope to get some more done on the M26A1 this week.

Well, I've worked on cutting the 10 return rollers from the casting sprue, and experimented with folding the p/e periscope guards..they are tiny for sure..! :hypnotised:

Also, I'm going to use a 50cal m/g from a Dragon Sherman kit as well as a towing pintle and tow cable ends from the same Sherman kit.

Going on to weather the resin tracks somewhat...prior to assembling them on the tank..

I'm going to use two Caliber 72 figures for this build and some type of simple base.....

Model on................... :beer:
