Thanks guys! Tamiya's M8 kit is really outdated and lacks of a lot of details. I tried to work'em out with sheet metal and plastic, solder and copper wire, a couple of Eduard's PE kits and Verlinden's + TM resin. I added texture to the upper surfaces with Tamiya liquid cement and my finger. I'm currently working in the suspension, but the kit's wheels are early type and my subject is late type, besides the VVS lacks detail. Fortunately, AFV club sells the M3/M5/M8 suspension in kit firm for a reasonable price and what a bounty it is! Cheers!

Hello Luis! I am definitely watching your project! Ever wanted to build an M8, but as you said, the price for the resin-one is very high. So your build is highly interesting! Good work so far!

Lous, I am always fascinated by the 'detail' and yours is not lacking from it.
Just a tremendous series of images mate, you gotta' love it. 🙂 👍 👍
