M7B1 Priest

I would love the plans for this if you got them. I've been eying a resin kit, but I like scratchbuilding more

Most of my plans (Priest, DUKW, Jumbo, M4A1 and M10-M36) came from George Bradford's plan books. I'm sure there are other sources, but this is a great reference and it works for me. In the front of the book he gives a chart to show how much to increase his drawings to whatever scale to wish to build. In my case, using his 1/35th drawings I enlarge 218% to/for 16th and it seems to fit the HL lower well. Most printers that have legal paper ability (8.5 x 14" - sorry not sure what the non US size is), can get a whole M4 size tank on one sheet. Otherwise it's a case of multiple pages taped together.

2.185 is the math I use when scaling up from a 35th reference kit on the calculator and 218% is the copier enlargment number.

If you don't want the hassle of getting the book, PM me an address and I will get a few pages off to you.

Can't believe I missed this build.
Looks superb, I love how you build something from scratch like that. Very nice!

Just caught up with this myself........absolutely outstanding work.
Love the paint mixer....my kind of thinking.

Like the M4A1, still have a couple of details and weathering to do, but this is just about done.
