Hi,

When I was young in 1944, I've left the liberation of Gex and I wanted to make this tank :

Here, is my M10 TD finished :

It is made on the lower hull of a Heng Long Sherman, the top deck and the turret are made of plastic card board.

Next time, I will send some details of the construction.

Best regards.
