Very nice. I like how you used parts from an M40 to build it as well. Great job as always.

Hi Gino
Thank you again for for the compliment.

I used may parts from the AFV Club M40 155mm the gun carriage, rear spade had to modify it quite a bit the shape was the same as in the pictures and other left over parts, The main chassis and upper hull I used it to scratch build the T30 Cargo Carrier that was planed to be used with the M1 240mm Howitzer and the M1 155mm Gun.

Cheers,
Ralph

Hi Frenchy…Thank you very much for the compliment.

I was thinking about it. I scratch built the M1 240mm howitzer. There was a chap in England that was doing a 3D printing of the T92 but due to hill health he only got as far as the vehicle printed and assembled, no gun or carriage.

Thank you again in the pictures you supplied for my M113 MTAB scratch build that’s posted further down in the forum. Did you see it. About 7 days ago.

Cheers,
Ralph

Hi Frenchy

Yes time flies by these days for me. I started to building it a month after that. Have a look at the post and I hope that you will be impressed with what I was able to scratch build with the help of the pictures you sent me.

Cheers,
Ralph
