A great choice Morris,
An old kit, but searching the internet, according to this website you are just within the Max RRP
https://www.wonderlandmodels.com/search/?q=Tamiya+M48A3
I look forward to seeing this build

Major subassemblies now done - just to bring it all together - hop a flight home to the family tomorrow to Norfolk....(they left earlier in the week with our menagerie ... )
Those rubber tracks were a pain - just like when I used to build the older Tamiya kits.....

Hi Roy, yes the gun mantle has a cover - Had to add some cardboard ribs and wet tissue to the gap between turret and mantle to make it look better...Hope Jess feeling better - day and bit to xmas -

I don't know if you know I love tanks . This one you have built is just amazing. Again the detail on the people is just outstanding, you are very talented.
