Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for your comment and for your kind words! I understand you've got your own life and things to do, I don't expect you to comment every post in this thread, although I can't thank you enough for your contributions here and for your help with my model. And today what I...

@msgjd - thanks a lot for the clarification! I'll pay attention to the differences!

Hello everybody! Recently I have worked on the weapons mounts, there are two foldable mounts on the sides of the superstructure, I’ve built one deployed: And one folded: I had to scratchbuild their locking levers. I’ve also added what a friend was always pointing out - the chains securing the...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comments! @Valley Rock - of course I'd love to see the pictures you mentioned here! Have a nice day Paweł

Thanks a lot! Like I suspected, M35s and their variants is a wholly separate branch of knowledge in itself! I hope I'll learn a bit of that on the way. Have a nice day! Paweł

@msgjd - thanks a lot for the photos! They are so cool! Now I'm getting the feeling for what I'm about to model! Those photos also give some cool ideas about weathering the underside. I think putting the pioneer tool rack on top of the tank will look cool even if it was not so good for the real...

@msgjd - hanls a lot! Those pictures are soo cool! A lot better than everything I could find on the 'net so far plus it's really classic truck, and not the A2C that is almost all you see nowadays. How about that pioneer tool rack, was that a standard location for it? I have that Monogram kit...

@msgjd - thanks a lot for your comment! That's an interesting explanation about that water inscription... If I can get enough reference, then I would like to model the truck in the picture as close as I can get. I'll say right on, that I will not model the insides of the engine compartment...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comments! @Jbulach - that's what I've seen, too. Plus on the sides of the main tank there are two small doors of the hose compartments: That's why I suppose we have an M49A1C in the photo. @HDN - thanks a lot for the TM pages, very interesting. Could you...

Hello! Thanks a lot for your comment! I already have the -10 TM (Operator's), but I'd love to get one showing the PTO, the pump and the shaft connecting them - probably the -20. I'll send you a PM right away. Thanks again and have a nice day Paweł

Hello! I'm a modeller and I would like to build a model of this truck: I have three questions for people who know "the real thing" 1) any idea what that "potable water" inscription is supposed to mean? Looks to me like a kind of a joke, any ideas? 2) do you have any pictures or TM drawings...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for your kind words! I have painted up the lights front and rear. Hobby boss supplies these parts made entirely of clear plastic - that allows to paint them up in an interesting way. In the photos below the wheels are only dry fitted, so they look funny. Somehow the...

Hello everybody! Rory - thanks a lot for your comment! From what I heard the camo was factory-painted, and the photos show a certain regularity, of course with a variation. Sometimes the partition between green and OD is hard to spot and I think the colours might have faded, been repainted or...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for the heads up. I have sanded the front fenders smooth. Funny enough, now that I look on the photos there still seems to be a slight step there... I don't really see it on the model when I look at it - I\ll have to work on that some more. As for the front I have also...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for pointing out the details, I'll keep them in mind. Here’s another update… I got the doors painted on the insides now: I made some new weld lines in the back: And in the front I thought about how to best attach the mesh to the light guards and I decided to solder...

Hello Rory! Thanks again for your kind words, they mean a lot to me! And recently I've been working on all those doors - and there are many of them! I have ordered a MMK set that has only V-100 doors - they are a separate set for a reason! And it's a nice little set and not so expensive. Here's...

Hello! As you suggested I designed a new rear grille and recently I got it delivered from the 3D printer: After fitting it here’s how it looks like: On the same picture you can see the “rear gunners hatch” which is way off in the kit. The cover is too big and the opening is too small -...

Hello everybody! And I have my chassis almost done. Thanks to Rory I knew how to build that sheet metal cover for the power steering cylinder: Having that, I was able to put the machine on its wheels - only temporarily now: The rims on the front wheels were a little cracked, so I repaired...

Hello Rory! Thanks a lot for your fast response and for the photos! I'll try to build that cover now. Have a nice day! Paweł

Hello Rory, thanks again! Can you tell me something more about the cover of the power steering cylinder? I've seen a piece of sheet metal on some vehicles, but it's in a tight spot, so no really good shots of that parts and I don't know if it was installed on all vehicles. Thanks in advance...
