Hey all!

Just finished y Nitto/Fujimi 1/76 M-36 Jackson.  No access
to alt newsgroups or I'd post pics.  This thing is freaking
nasty!  The suspension is in halves, with one half on the
side of the hull.  The wheels aren't of sufficient diameter,
and there's no blanking plates separating the interior from
the exterior of the hull where the tracks are.  There's a
sweet engine compartment but you can see the top of the
tracks through the openings in the hull.

I spent about two hours making hull walls and bulkheads
so you can't see outside from inside, spent a good two days
on detailing the engine compartment and the drivers'/hull
gunner's area.  The rest went according to the instructions.

I'm going to give it decals for the 1st Cav in Korea in the
early fifties.  Then I'm going to be displaying it on my
Revell/Matchbox 1/76 Diamond T Tank Transporter.  This
is going to be seriously sweet.  I'm going to have a spare
engine and lots of other goodies in the back of the trans-
porter.

What say, folks?  What's the last model that you actually
completed?

BTW, I will be posting pics of it on my web page about
modeling the Korean War in 1/72 scale...  Just look through
the recent posts to see the link.
