Hello
I have some pics of the finished M2A1 in my gallery. I say finished but as we know there is always more to be done. Most of the extra detail parts such as the 50 cal mount, jerrycan holders, tie downs, aerial mount and M49 ring are all Armorpax - all excellent parts.

The build was quite sraight forward. It took about for months but nearly half of that was taken up making the pulpit, 30 cal mounts, front seats and controls etc. One thing I did which was a bit tedious, but I think quite important, was to turn down and shape nearly every M2 countersunk slothead screw to give a more accurate dome head - and there are alot of them! (I think Mark was unable to source a more suitable fixing)
It runs nicely, and steers well but with a large turning circle - just like the real thing.
As for the tracks coming off, I would say it is virtualy a physical impossibility!
