    There are a few books to buy and some sites provide glimpses such as:

    "The M4A1 (76)W, M4A2 (76)W, the M4A3(75)W, The M4A3 (76)W tanks all had the improved wet ammo racks. This change included moving all main gun ammo into the floor of the hull under the turret. These ammo racks were also surrounded by water filled jackets. Early production wet tanks retained the turret basket, and had hatches that could be opened to access the hull ammo racks, later they only installed a half basket, and eventually removed the basket floor entirely."

    THanks for the information

    What's the best 1/32 scale Spitfire kit tobuild a Mk I

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I have my models lined up to build several representing aircraft flown during the Battle of Britain (August to October 1940 period;

    I have the 1/32 scale Revell/Hasegawa MK I /II kit as well as the new Revell Spitfire MK II kit. I know both need a few corrections but don't know which is the easies to accuratize. Anyone want to suggest what you did or feel the best approach to modeling a reasonably accurate Spitfire MK I model?

    B Green offers a nice in box review of the new KH P39 Airacobra on HY

    in General Discussion

    Used initials to save space. Here we go!

    Hy = is on site because "yperscale" did not have space to print out

    B.= is Brett I was trying to get enough words in topic

    SP = is for Special Hobby

    HK = Hong Kong Models

    I felt most people aware of the new P39 Airacobra kits by Special Hobby and Hong Kong models would recognize the abreviation.

    I'm new to posting on the site. I hope the above will be of assistance to you who posted confusion. Next time I"ll be sure to spell it out. Like

    Brett Green's P39 review is found on Hyperscale.

    Lest I forget Squadron, MMD is their wholesale name.

    The inbox review is about 8 minutes in length and lets you see the kit comments along with his commentary. Mr Green, who has apparently become associated with Squadron MMD, did not discuss anything about the fuselage length issue. Both Hong Kong Models

    and Special Hobby THe kits match up with the new Mushroom Models 1/32 drawings.

    I feel the Special Hobby kit will be easier to correct than the Hong Kong Models kit if you wish to address the above issue. I put mine on the shelf and will get to it in the near future. Maybe someone will offer a plug for the kit.

    Just received my Italeri 1/32 Mirage III kit

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Its a nice model in a big box. I was thinking about converting it to a Nesher but may hold off and use my Revell 1/32 Mirage kit when I find the box. I have an Isracast Nesher conversion kit which really can dress up the older Revell kit.

    Italeri offer decals for a natural Metal surface Israeli aircraft for the six day war. Perhaps we'll see some aftermarket decals for the Mirage III in later camouflage markings circa the 1970's.
