Yet again, really great work on these little beauties.

Out of interest is 1/87 very popular in the US? I'm not sure if I'd come across it before joining this forum, or is it a case of it's popular everywhere except in the UK because it's equivalent to HO, which is not very popular here, at least in railway terms.?

Interesting additions with the armour Paul. Beautiful work as always

[Tim Marlow]

More exacting micro work….lubberly jubberly!

[minitnkr]

Thank you gentlemen.
Andrew, yes I'm sure that's a factor. Very popular in the 60s thru 80s as a gaming scale due to the model RR structure/scenery elements available.
Steve, what those bolts & bosses were about on early & mid build M10s. An additional armor kit was envisioned but never deployed to my knowledge. There is some photo evidence of field expedient added frontal armor for M4s &10s as I've depicted here.

Almost done w/2nd Platoon.

About time you started another platoon Paul, you’ve still got a couple of square inches free on your bench
Seriously, more great work in the jewellery scale….
