Okay boys I’m doing it, I’ve got the Panda M1IP which comes with all the parts to do a basic M1. I’ve got pretty much all the views I need except a clear view of the blowout panels, they’re very different then the production M1’s. I also need some advice of how to make the ammo feed chute for the commander machine gun, there’s some complex curves going on there.
This is what I have for the blowout panels, if anyone has a better pic, I would appreciate it.

That’s where I got the pic I have! Looks like an undercut of some sort, around the perimeter of each panel. Center panel is bigger and outer panels are much slimmer. It’s making me crazy. And maybe a bunch of separate panels n the middle?

I’ve been scrounging the internet for about a week, one thing I noticed is that information on the XM-1 and XM-1 FSED are intermixed a great deal.

I did the same when I built my own. I had to cut the rear panels from an M1A1 turret and scratch the blow-off panels to replicate the M1IP “long turret” upgrade.

Yup, knew that was gonna happen, the FSED has the rear turret “extension” on the bottom, some some surgery required there too
