Outstanding job Ralph!

Did you ever paint it ?

Looks great. I got the Masterpiece conversion for mine. What paint scheme do you plan to use?

That is fantastic. Your skills are amazing

Looks great. I like how it looks.

Richard… Thank you very much for the compliment.

Not painted. The paint that I will be using would be olive drab that was used in Vietnam.

Hi Ryan… Thank you very much for the compliment.

The Masterpiece conversion did not exist in 2005 when I scratch built this version . I think it came out in 2016. When I seen it on one of the forums that I visited someone did a review of it and it looked pretty good. the one thing I noticed was that they did not make the big hatch in the back center line of the turret and plug the two smaller hatches. Look at my model, I cut the two hatches to the right size and then glued then together plus made the raised area for it.

Feels earlier then that but scalemates also says 2016. When I get to it, I will try to remember those hatches.
