      Yep, looks like there's very little flash. Always a plus! And I really like the M3's!

        Thanks glad you like it, there is one bad mistake on the tracks though like the old Tamiya ones back to the mid-70's . The links are not actually connected together as the end connectors are moulded on each link, not between each link and there is no after-market tracks will fit, the track error is impossible to correct but there will be some mods & scratch building mainly details that are missing.

                  That's some good looking mesh, and nice barrel modifications, too.

                  The mesh would be something for me, too. I've yet to see it at the local hobby stores.

                              Great job with all the detail question how will you prevent all that extra rivet detail etc from eventually falling of the kit over time
