Yeah! That's one of the kits I have in my stash that I want to do with high priority. I was kinda shocked when the Dragon M48 came out, and a little reliefed when I read they messed up the gun mantlet cover... The good thing is, there will be brass fenders from Voyager available soon. These should fit also on the Tamiya-kit. I think the Tamiya M48 is still great, despite it's age (it has the hull prepared for motorization, tells you everything  ), I'll be watching. Cheers, Tobi |

Deano thank you .Sorry about being fast buddy,have to use all the available bench time i can when the Mrs is asking me to run all over with her. Dicky,got the turret disassembled .I don't do this for everyone so pay close attention because the assembly is going to be fast. Thank you mate,no fit issues and very little cleanup on the parts except for the road wheels.The tracks are perfect fit.BTW- hope you like the disassemble.   |

Man, you can't turn your back on Leon these days, or he's going to throw a tank brigade of models at you...  Looking sharp, what color are you going to use? The Vietnam OD was pretty dark and greenish what I've seen from photos. Cheers, Tobi |

Hey Leon,
This looks so cool. I built this kit when I got back into modelling and it got me hooked. Oh and it looks smart in grey paint.
