Quick and easy. Removed the armored first aid boxes and moved the spare track racks so spare links actually fit, and relaced front lifting lugs with Schumo Sherman ones.. Added Shapeways grouser racks and Axels antenna.
Just shot the base od.

I didn't realise mato had released this, or is it a bash of their m10 and m36b1?

Mato. Not sure when they released it.

Ugh. USA number. No idea of an appropriate one.

Maccrage

Surgery time. They look worried

RichJohnson

They are. They're going to be in an open top LAV lol

Maccrage

Now, where should the TC go? Pics aren't exactly clear. Behind the gunner?

Did they put bearings of some kind or even bushings on this one? Been eyeing it, but other people's bad dealings with Mato have me hesitant.

Maccrage

They listened. Bearings or bushings, not sure which, I didn't break it down. But I see them.

Naming her Connie. After my mother, who died today.

A nice tribute . You have my condolences

Maccrage

Got curious and tore down the M10.

RichJohnson

armornut

Well, well, well. Guess they did listen some.

Maccrage

Cast shafts.

Maccrage

Haven't worked on her in a while. Took her out today, and managed to get the right track to jump the sprocket. Gotta figure out the proper tension.

Great looking M36. They (Mato) have one based on the M10 chassis and one based on the Sherman M4A3 chassis (M36B1). Very cool model. Sorry to hear of your mothers passing. They even have an M10!

Yep. I have the M10 also. It's actually a gas powered M10A1. I have to do some modifications to the engine deck and hull backplate and change the engine sound to convert it to a proper diesel M10.

Maccrage

Still can't get the tension right. More? Less?

Yep. Even while running straight on level concrete.
