This is another project that I have been working on. The pictures below are my inspiration. It’s an M4A1 Mid production with the M34 mount and early bogies. This picture was taken in Italy in 1945. This looks like the perfect subject to try the AK effects on.
This is the Kit I am using, Tasca’s 35-L31
Since I want to concentrate more on the painting and weathering on this one, I’m going to build it out of the box without all the little tweaks as my other M4A1s I have going. About the only thing I’ll add is some photo etched tool straps. And maybe an aftermarket tow cable.
The upper and lower hull is not fixed into place yet. I still need to finish out the parts that mount to the rear plate. The turret is almost complete except for a few small details.
