Just about finished with my newest IDF tank, an M-3 (M-4A3 75mm). This is a Mato-Tamiya-Aguilar combo, with fitting a Tammy upper hull and turret with Nick Aguilar's 75mm/early mantlet, to a Mato lower hull. Don (Torpedochief) did the HL installation. This tank is a modeled after a Sherman with 7th Armored Brigade at Tel Aviv 1952-54. One of the very few IDF M-4A3s with the Ford V-8. All periscopes are plexi mirror material.

My next project is on the bench....just the reverse. Mato A1 upper hull and T-23 turret (already mofified to M-51) to an older Tamiya HVSS hull. I have to replace the TC's hatch back to standard in place of the split hatch I have on it.

Yeah, and an "everything" oganizer with more than an 18x24 inch working area. Oberhauling a clarinet or a flute is OK, but modelling needs more space. Been threatening to clean it all up, but haven't get that round tuit yet.

Busy as hell at the museum now....doing 3 dioramas, field/barracks diaplays,, organizing period uniforms and cleaning weapons. That on top of rehearsals for protestant and Catholic X-mas programs added to synagogue services and hebrew studies.

If I was getting paid for all that, I could get a few more tanks.

A beautiful job on the M3. Is it possible to purchase one of Nick Aguilar's early 75mm mantlets for a Sherman? modelbob71
