M4A3E2 Jumbo Part 2 T-48 Tracks

Not sure but try to replace the original Tamiya tracks with a T-48 Bronco set, a lot of small pieces going together, at least it will take some time.

Welding seam at front armor
T-48 tracks
brass brackets for wood  at front

M4A3E2 Jumbo Part 1 Assembly

Started the Tamiya Kit M4A3E2 Jumbo Assault Tank in 1/35 scale. The Kit is a old modified one with some extra armor at front and side.
The Tank comes together very fast and took me approx. one weekend busy.
I will split the built in four parts.
Part1: Assembly
Part2: Modifications
Parts3: Coloring and Figures
Part4: Diorama
















The original Cal. 50 machine gun will be replaced with Academy one

Sherman M4A3E2 "Jumbo"




New Project coming soon

Inspired from my trip to Bastogne I start a build with a Sherman M4A3E2 "Jumbo" Tank, I´m not sure if I would build the Cobra King version "First in Bastogne"or a equal one who was in battle of the bulge. The Bronco tracks will be interesting to build, but at all the common "Duckbills" are missing, found some duckbills from Panda Plastics. Here is the Link.
