M-31 TRV Nearly finished

[fblanton]

Completion is the goal I hear. Well I grabbed this shelf queen and got her on a base and found the motivation to finish it properly! Legends conversion set with Academy 1/35 M-3 Medium tank {Lee}. Had to rebuild the boom from Evergreen Styrene as the kit parts were too badly warped in two directions. Track is from a Tasca donor and all of the cables are made from .080 wire to .010 wire.

I love that base it sits on and the mud/weeds/grass on the tracks.

Thank you for the compliments guys!

Excellent kitbash, and great finish and vignette!

I'm with Chris, I'd never seen a Lee recovery vehicle, was it rare? And were the guns dummies, or was the sponson gun left installed?

 

[fblanton]

No. Not rare at all. The 37mm and 75mm are in fact dummy gun tubes. There is a door that the 75mm is attached to over the right hand sponson.
