Hee All

I had contact with Christian, for a M113.

YES its a M48 SHELL :clap: :clap: :D he told me.

and he send me some pics to show you all.

the tank is probably ready in april for the inter modelbau in dortmund .

Great News!!!!

I know Chris said the M48 before the M60 so I'm hoping that the M60 is in the not too distant future. :D

Now to convince myself that I really do not need an M48! :/

An absolute work of art, the shape of the hull would be a nightmare to scratchbuild. 3D printing a master for resin is an ingenious way to approach the problem.
