Thanks guys for the comments. I too will not spend a ton of cash on a model, especially if it's something I can build myself. I did spend a lot for the T-55, mainly CMK interior sets. These sets were and will be used on a few models so it's not so bad.
I've done a bit more work on the HT but don't have any new pics yet. The rear body section is just about done, still need to do the rear plate which I have plans for. Since this is a conversion of the M4 to an M2 I can't use the rear plate that has a door....so I'm doing it as if some one at one time [torch] cut an opening in the rear plate and rail. I'm hoping this will add to the overall effects of being old and neglected..a rust bucket.
