M8 HMC
Made a toothed gear ring from Evergreen.
Primer
How worser sight gets, how smaller the parts get ????
Punch & die, selfmade
Starting to upgrade the inside of the turret. Sadly the interior set from Eduard isnt in production anymore...
Found some 13 teeth sprockets in a aftersale for just €6, couldnt hold myself
Turret madness, detailing the interior
Clamp tools from Mig, nice but oh so small
Turret almost ready, had to relocate the seats too
Working the whole day on the grousers. Tried glueing with CA as well weldering
Made some shellcases from Evergreen rods (the left is a resin one from Verlinden)
3 days of soldering the grousers. Now waiting for Evergreen profiles to make the racks. Open the shops please...
Still on the grousers...
After the primer it shure looks better. Making the grousers from pe parts was horror, but now I think they look quite nice.
Whole day making ammo, did a colortest which olive drab to use, Mig 927 won
Discovered the whole backside is old M5A1. Wrong airvent and pintle (topleft)
Rightdown: at last I found a pic with the right place of the clevis

Decal menace, the old Tamiya ones didN’t came of the paper anymore after all those years.
Dry decals from Verlinden did partially the job (also 25 years old)
Ordered a sheet of Star Decals for the vehicle numbers. Glad the shop had them in stock...

Hi Olivier, i intended to build the M10 ammo trailer, but that isn't nowhere for sale anymore. But I saved a article from a magazine how to scratchbuilt an M8 trailer? So one of them it will be.

Thank you, it was a pleasure to build, not in the last place by adding the M10 trailer, who a mate printed for me
