The M26 was my first detailing project. I used a Harbor Freight $7 rotary tool to cut the fenders off. The non-adjustable speed melted the plastic and eventually destroyed the rotary tool itself! The side fender mounting holes were drilled with this too. Afterwards I learned that a pin vise would have been much better to use. I also installed the metal tie downs pretty much in the same places as the real tank, each side is NOT the same. The fender supports are not like those used on the tanks at the time. They were beyond my modeling skills at the time. They mimmick the Littlefield M26A1's using turnbuckles instead.
Enjoy the build!
