This is coming together very nicely! My first build upon returning to armor was the Revell kit. Although it is soft on detail, I really enjoyed it. Nice to see what can happen at the hands of ambition.

Really nice build Steph. The additions you made make a very big difference on this kit. Well worth the effort.

It's coming along great. Excellent scratch work.

One correction though. On your tail lights, only the upper left oval should be red. The lower left and both on the ight should eb black slits to represent the blackout drive and marker lights. This was the standard light setup on US vehicle from before WWII to present. They are used on some still (m113, M109A6, AAVP7A1, etc.).

Here is the same setup on an M20 Recon Car.


Still present on M113A3s.

Hmm, that is interesting on the lights. I wonder when they changed over?

It looks great either way though. Good job.

GINO thank you, I think about 1939 as the scout car M3A1 was equipped with.
