While I'm working on other projects, I'm also (within reason ) collecting parts for future builds The kit for this TD will be in some week here so I wanted to get a start on some add-ons. I'm planning on using either a Taigen or HL lower. If I use the HL lower, I'll be using MATO metal tracks, sprockets and idlers. Even tho' they are historic, the many spoked idlers that come with the MATO parts kinda turn me off. A friend of mine feels the same way and came up with a cool fix. Turned down HL idlers that drop in the MATO idler and replace the face. I asked for two pair. One for this upcoming M10 build and the other for my much loved 'Maxene', a built HL M4(105mm ) So anyway, this is the start of parts for the M10. Pics:

New post today from AAF here in the States. A couple of the excellent Tamiya .50 MG kits for this M10 and for the M36B. Also, Email with the attachment for paint and marking suggestions and the complete Instruction Manual for the kit. Heady times for Allied Armor indeed! Pics:

Happy Day today, the Post brought the M10 kit and it really is a superb offering! Crisp castings and tons of extras! Thank you very much Dean for pandering to those of us who have wanted one of these for some time now. This kit will get in line and be started here by the Spring, hopefully. I plan on using a Taigen Lower and a Clark MFU for Michael's type of Servo recoil and elevation. Pics:
