I will kick this one off today. Working with 3D parts for the 1st time so wish me luck. The conversion set was pricey so I am hoping to get through the build without damaging any of the items from the set. Album to follow.

I'm doing something similar using the Monogram kit.

Are you using 3D parts, scratch building or did you get your hands on the Mouse House conversion?

Taking a bit of a break from this to do a review for the AMPs website. I will pick this back up in a bit but I needed a change of pace and a German subject seemed appropriate.

I will definitely be following that. My scratch building skills are not up to fabricating large or complex parts, not yet. Looking forward to see what you do. I checked out some of your other work, fantastic stuff.

Any progress on this project? I am about to convert an M3 75mm GMC to an M5 PC in the service of 1st Polish Armoured Division. I am looking for a decent set of plans to use but also considering the 3D parts instead. How have you found them so far?

I needed to set this aside for a bit to finish some reviews for the AMPs web site. The 3D set is expensive but worth it. Very accurate and very crisp detail but the price can definitely put you off. I will be picking this one up after the holidays and will post more soon.
