I intend to start building a M36 Jackson in 1/16 scale but I'm having trouble getting bluprints of this model. Can anyone help?

Today the M36 parts made by Nick Aguilar arrived. The parts are perfect, as usual. Here is the first test of the tower in place.

I decided to build the field roof patch to the M36 to hide the Tamiya lifting mechanism of the gun ... and also because it looks cool!

I made some more progress in detailing the M36 ...

The Roof Field Patch. I made it removable, so you can access more easily the lifting mechanism of the gun.
