From the drawings, it looks like a full interior. Is that true? Definately a cool model! Look forward to seeing it come together!

Oolie Time,

An M3 A2 (without the machine gun though) was used by the movie "Dirty Dozen" in their escape after their dirty deed. Question: "Name the actor(s) who were driving it"?...,

Have the feeling that this is the beginning of a beautiful build...,

Well, on Gil's side note.... Not sure who was driving, but I know Jim Brown tended to do a lot of driving! And I am sure Lee Marvin was around somewhere (plus the many other big names!). AMC is showing it tomorrow (in the US)!

Charles Bronson sounds familiar to me, in that scene

Probably right, Rick - Wikipedia states that only Bronson, Marvin and Richard Jaeckel survived the mission.... Been many many years since I've seen it!

I built this model some years ago. Only bad thing some thick parts like frame rails need sides painted also under sides of fenders. Mine came out with warped sides when finished.But looks good.
