Another kit built because I wanted something simple. March was a very bad month model-wise. I think I FUBARed eight or ten kits. Seriously. I am having thoughts of giving up this hobby, or concentrating on other subjects, such as figures.

Assembly was very smooth. I did cement most of the joins, even though the kit is designed to hold together without cement. I put on all parts but the treads and the spare tread on the side of the turret, primed it with Auto Borne Gray Sealer, then painted with a Tamiya mix I had labelled "US Armor". It is a mixture of XF-62 Olive Drab and something to lighten it, but I can't remember what I used. I had painted the tools, tow cable on the rear, and the wooden boxes on the sides. Decals went on well.
