Hi Ray. It does look large. The info provided with the kit sez it is 1/48, but I have not measured it yet. My intention is to build a series of models in 1/48 (vide the T1E1 currently under construction, which is actually 1/50.5 because I printed it out on U.S. 8.5x11-inch paper. But I have since printed out copies on A4 that are actually 1/48 and hope to build the rest of the series in that scale. I also plan to ask Roman if he can enlarge the Ford 3-ton to 1/48. If I can find an 1/48 American-style Renault FT-17 (6-ton) and a 1/48 Mk.VIII International, I will have the three tanks that were in U.S. service prior to the developments representated in part by Alberto's tanks.
Sorry. I got carried away. I'll get back to you on that scale thing. [Added later: It does seem to be 1/48. The dimensions I have for this vehicle are 16 feet long and 6 feet wide, which would be 4 inches by 1.5 inches in 1/48 and the model is exactly 4 inches long and 1.5 inches wide.]
Of course, for a man who builds in 1/144, EVERYTHING looks big.
Garland -- What you say makes sense and I will have to consider it carefully. I'm not sure I can put in the creases and raise the mudguards on this model, but will try it on the next one. How about those two little flaps at the end of the lower hull? What do they attach to?
