Thank you all, here are a few more shots of interest. This is the end of the build. It was quite pleasant and very interesting. Hope you will do some of these modifications to your M41 and more, it is a good base. In the end, i think it is one of my best looking tank ever.

Best regards, Louis

Louis

I am impressed and inspired. I am a newbie to modelling (haven’t built any models in 30 years) I have a bulldog that needs work and I have got some inspiration from this thread. I like the use of copper for the silly flimsy plastic bits.

Currently at the stage of finish stripping mine apart and removing the paint and broken bits.
Good morning Mr Stevens and the windy notchy knight.

I remember this one. Great tank. But Louis, please tell me they filled all those cans with cement or sand or something. I'm not sure it would be a great idea to have all that .50 cal ammo on the front like that. Home-made reactive armor? 8) :haha: :haha:

Hi Steve,

Louis' build of the M41 is truly inspirational as are ALL his builds! He may have some details made of copper but mostly he uses brass, you will find it's use in all his builds.

Oh Boy, haven't played with this one in a while. Thanks guys. I am pretty sure these are ammos, many wartime pictures show a similar storage method. Re-supply was surely problematic for trigger happy ARVN crews. Picture below was the main inspiration for the build. I noticed AFV-Model stopped selling their MLRS tracks for quite a while, too bad, they were a very good match. Now, I need to get back to building a Vietnam era vehicle.
