A relatively obscure pair next  009 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr One of these will be converted to an M-30 ammo carrier for which I just last night discovered a conversion set that's available. This means no scratching ring mounts, projectiles, charge tubes, etc. therefore worth the expenditure. M-12 to date  001 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr Requires a bit of fitting and filling but overall has not fought me too hard yet Regards, Mark |

Not so sure some days brother Goodie arrival  003 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr  004 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr Seems decent, no more evil than any other resin conversion I've tangled with. Should be finding out directly Regards, Mark |

Thanks gents The resin kit is mostly all right but suffers from warp, air bubbles, and incomplete casts. It took awhile but I was able to cut, file, and cuss the cargo deck in fairly well. The projectile rack was terrible  002 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr  003 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr so it got the 220 lb. treatment on the floor. I scratched another out of styrene  004 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr which can be seen in back of the half completed suspension pile. The hull fit was a bit more ornery than the last one; here it's at first stage glue and clamp. The M-12 is now shiny and will be ready for decals tomorrow. Hope they are not the old Academy ones that I think they printed on scotch tape Regards, Mark |

Cheers gents M-12 mostly done and M-30 in basecoat  005 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr  001 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr  002 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr  004 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr Some base arrangement playing; lots of options here  006 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr The resin kit was not so hot mostly due to poor casting. I'll not grind down Commander Models over this however as I've only worked with their stuff this one time Regards, Mark |

Blink and your off to the races! Resin is not all it's cracked up to be sometimes. Been there done that! Come to the sad realization if the parts don't straighten out in a cup of boiled water, impact testing is the next step! Both look fantastic! Bring on the weathering! |

Thank you gents T I generally cringe when ordering resin AM as you never know what you're gonna get. Sometimes you get lucky but this time not so much The duo currently  041 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr  042 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr  043 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr While waiting for stuff to dry I started this, Tammy's Italeri M-24 rebox  040 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr Nice extras but the kit itself is as ghastly as I've heard Regards, Mark |

Spent some time on extras for the M-30  001 by Mark Hartig, on Flickr I'll need to figure out more stuff to put on it thus capturing the "Grapes of Wrath" look that most American armor acquired as the war progressed Regards, Mark |
