I'll be keenly interested in this. I've got one in the stash, earmarked for an IDF vehicle in '67 once my copies of Tom Gannon's new books on Israeli Sherman-family SP artillery arrive. Tiger Model Designs makes corrected ammo tube racks for the fighting compartment along with other useful bits.

Happy New Year 2018 Update   I had a heck of a time with upper hull fit on the previous two M7's but this one has been a treat,maybe because I went about the hull assembly differently or Dragon made corrections. This time I installed the rear hull plate leaving the forward engine firewall in place but not glued then installed the side walls. The firewall was then glued in place which squared up the sidewalls. The instructions are vague in spots and several parts are mis-numbered and must be looked for on other sprue trees. Working on the 105 as you can see. Tony lee |

Looking great Tony, that is coming along nicely despite the issues with the instructions. Then again, it is a Dragon kit....

Coming along nicely Tony. I have a 1/35 Testors M7 that has been sitting for months now. She is waiting on the wash and weathering to be complete and a dull coat.
