Re: M7B1 Priest
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.

Re: M7B1 Priest
Like the M4A1, still have a couple of details and weathering to do, but this is just about done.
