Building the 1/16th. U.S. M24 Chaffee WW2 Version from Gecko

Wow, it never really hits me the size of these 1/16 kits until you see comparison pics like that!
Love your builds, by the way :smiling_face_with_sunglasses::+1:

I had absolutely no issues with loose track pins. At the most there might be 5 pins that slide out per side. I used 73 links per side.

Well I finally have some more to post. It has been a verry rough week for me , because I haven’t been feeling very good. The Dammed Arthritis has been acting up making it hard to do much of anything.
Well here is what I have assembled so far.







Good Night

Engines. We had an24 outside the theater in Katterbach, and BN had it dragged in to be made drivable for a change of command ceremony. The engines were removed and serviced. They were 8 cylinder flatheads. This was in sept- Oct 78.

Question re the real vehicle did the turret have dimples like the M41 turret - caused during the rolling process?

And if so, is it evident on the model too?

I have the Hunnicutt book - Stuart, but it’s the reprint & it too difficult to tell.

Nice work Donald.
