Here's another one from Academy! Just came today, 13 days shipping time,,, not bad !!
It's the 70th D-Day Anniversary edition. Comes in quite a larger box than the M18. Same dark green plastic with a completely detailed interior, driver compartment, detailed turret interior/w breach & rounds, PE light guards, stowage, rubber tracks, AND Cartograph decals w/8 options. A few $$ more than the M18, but only $30.95 shipped from China.
I'm only going to do a partial album right now, but It looks real nice kids. Should make a great looking M10 !! I don't see how you can beat it for the price. I only wish they would include a 1 piece or metal barrel.
Plenty of good reviews here on Scalemates with good pictures,,, check 'em out !!

looks like a nice addition to my stash! Do the tracks look good?

Hi Holger,
The tracks look good,,, . The detail is good, but they are the plain rectangular pad tracks. There are pin marks/dimples every 8 or 9 links,,, typical I from what I've seen, but I don't see how anyone will notice once it's sitting on the shelf! I would suppose there are AM tracks available!
There's plenty of reviews here on Scalemates with lots of good pictures.
I think it's a great kit for the price.
Cheers
