Israeli M3

Another model added to my bucket list! The Israeli M3 was quite challenging, although it looks like a boxy simple build...the track and wheels being what they are made a modular approach essential (unlike tank models where you can add the wheels to the hull sides) So the two sides were built ,and the tracks added (managed to add exhaust pipe and a spring suspension) the decals are home printed ...the 50 cal MG is not ready yet so are two bars on the sides...the jerry cans are resin (did not make the as I intend to build A Sahariana with its 20 jerry cans so borrowing some is not so bad!) The main problem with AFVs this scale is the tracks and wheels...I use gross grain , cross stitch or sampler material and tailors elastic band, the wheels are usually built up buttons! I added my track and headlight sources to show the variety of unusual stuff which goes into my models!!
