After reading Tankograd Publications Armored Cav book, I feel the need to build an early M3. The only option seems the Academy kit. What AM will be needed to make a decent model?

First off, check out the products by Jacques Duquette. I used them, and Terence Wong is using them now. Great stuff. A lot of the rest is just correcting/adding small details.

Welcome - You can scour the M2/M3 Bradley Reference thread and get a lot of valuable data on the old M2 Brads from the 1980s.

Would be good to have M2/M2A1/M3/M3A1 kits made in the 21th century

Oh. So now you are gonna do the Berlin thing as well.
Funny, as bad as my German slang and intentional misspellings were earlier, they will still translate perfectly in to English.
For it’s day, the M2 kit was one of the better AFV kits available, by anyone.

you forgot about the original Tamiya M3
Here is my take on one, using the original Tamiya M2 kit, Tamiya and Meng interior parts, Eduard PE, Dragon MLRS track and sprockets, Aber metal barrels, some scratch-building, etc., etc., etc…
The Academy M3 (and their M2) is a direct copy of the Tamiya M3. Nothing was added, deleted, nor updated.

If I would do my native Frankish dialect, nobody would understand it.

I’m certain I would not. Hoever, Frankish is somewhat similar to Dutch, which I can read. Read as in see the words and figure out what the sentence means. Not read out loud, which I’m sure would be so full of mispronunciations as to render it unrecognizable.

Try this Frankish entence:
“Wu iich na Haaa hiii hoo”.( looks silly if written)

I beg your pardon, sir?
It most certainly is not. Frankish is a language all of its own, whereas Dutch is somewhat similar to German. Readingwise anyway.
Are you sure you are not confusing it with Flamish (Belgian Dutch)?

I aware that it is. Dutch descends from Old Frankish. There are going to be similarities.
