M10 HVSS finished

[General Zod]

That's one to stump the J.M.N.s.   

Thanks Joe.

Very well put together, and completely convincing

A bit late to the party but I was waiting for my membership to be approved.

I've got to tell you, I love this vehicle! I've been planning a similar design in 1/35 scale, using parts of the Academy M36 with the suspension and lower hull of their M51 Isherman. While I have mine planned as a gun tank with the T23 76 mm gun turret (and presumably a heavier armored upper hull), this still inspires me in showing that it can be done and it will look good in the end. Again, very nice work!

Thank you Jauques. I will be foing a few gun/howitzer builds using the M10 and HVSS in the future.

I was reminded of Panthers being modified to look like M10 TDs in a false flag operation leading up to the Battle of the Bulge.

What says we go the other way around: how much of work would it have required to vismod a M10 TD to look like a Panther?

The suspension would be hard to easily fake.Trying to come up with an idea on how to make the suspension look like a panther.

Stowage on.

Good-looking tank!

Maybe side skirts with Panther-style roadwheels painted on? Or fake roadwheels fabricated from plywood or thin sheet metal held in place with rods welded to the hull so they sit just outside of the HVSS roadwheels?

It worked out beautifully!

I was thinking of ChernayaAkula's second point as well.

Thanks.
I can see the fake road wheels and side skirts.
