The WIP thread is great also. I agree with your comments regarding the quality of this old model. I had one years ago that I somehow lost in a house move. Never built it but I do recall thinking the quality was very good. Thanks for sharing this! Terry Many thanks for your kind words and time to stop watch, I also as a teenager more or less, I did one of these, but I did not finish it, I ended up in the spare parts box (still after about 25 years I had the pieces I kept), so this kit, after resuming the hobby for a great, long time, it did not give me good "vibrations", but I have taken it more seriously, and it seems that the result has not been all bad. Without a doubt, the tracks are the worst part of the kit, because they also broke, and it was difficult to fix. I would have to change them for better ones, but I do not dare, in case I ruin the model ... Now Takom, has released to the market unless I know 2 kits of the M47, so they will undoubtedly be of great quality. Cheers Terry 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackMax12 Posted March 10, 2018 Share Posted March 10, 2018 Come on Francis you've got to STOP stealing these things from tank museums, they are starting to miss them and it's costing a lot to fix the fences. Seriously though it looks great, another Francis masterpiece. Take care, Lloyd 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take care, Lloyd Many thanks for your kind (and funny comments...lol), I do not think it's to win a prize (important), but I like it, and it seems to someone else, so I am encouraged to continue improving as much as possible. I'm seriously thinking about an upgrade with the tracks, which are undoubtedly the weak point of the kit, it is not that they look bad at all, but its integrity if it seems that it is compromised with the passage of time ...and end up breaking, although the risk of ruining the model ... I have to meditate ... Cheers Lloyd Edited March 10, 2018 by FrancisGL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt.Squarehead Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 The more I look at this model, the more I want one in 1/72.....There are still some glaring holes in the range of kits available. But hey.....There's always Pz.46. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrancisGL Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 Well yes, it is incredible that a famous AFV does not have a worthy replica in 1/72 ... Cheers Sarge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Many thanks for your most kind words, i'm glad you like it, don't worry about, it has been built for almost two years, and if it were not for the fact that it has "pop up" from time to time it is very difficult that you would have seen it, it usually happens with all the work already finished ... If you are interested in seeing some other work finished of mine, just click on the links at the end of each post, and there you will find them, although they are not all, because although they are not too many, only 4 links are allowed. .. so the oldest ones, if you want to see them, give me a touch and "I look for them" ... lol Cheers mate 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
