Israeli M51 Sherman

I don't recall buying this kit but it has sat on the shelf long enough! If anything screams modernisation it's a 1940's vintage Sherman gunning it out with 1960's vintage tanks into the late 80's.
What's even scarier is when I took the box off the shelf and it felt pretty heavy. I don't recall buying any of this...
Looks like my simple build just got complex again

You are quick out of the blocks Adam. That's a nice collection of aftermarket goodies. Looking forward to seeing you work on this one.
Cheers,
Vincent

May be a while before I get up to speed, the D9R still covers my entire workspace!

Very interesting project. I love when I open old boxes to discover that I put a lot of stuff inside I had forgotten.
Enjoy this GB.

Hmmmmmmm - I just realized that I have a M51 with the 105 mm Modèle F1 gun sitting in a box halfway... okay, a fourth the way or lesser... built - that would be an idea... I mean, these two are the most badass a M4 ever got to be.
Following your build with some degree of selfish interest

It gets worse...this build is now going to be officially out of control and will take more than six months. Just found this, which I had forgotten I had bought on impulse from a local auction site.....
3 figures, a bucket load of stowage and a heap of ammo to paint...

On the positive side, you now only need to paint half of the tank

Yup, I can completely ignore the entire back deck!
