Nice work! 👍

[@Emtbtoday]

Academy's m10 does that with the boggies and tracks too! I found if you get your hobby knife and make an incision whare the track's would have there gaps.for the separate pad links fixes this issue and everything sits perfectly!

[@oddball759mm]

interesting solution, I'll give it a shot next time I do an italeri pattern sherman

[@Emtbtoday]

@@oddball759mm works great if using vinyl track's they look alot better too! But stops that front boggy riding way up to drive sprocket!

[@briankreie9579]

Very nice build!

[@andrewluchsinger]

I have one that is currently unbuilt. To get rid of the Italeri bend in my Italeri kits I put some weight inside the model.

[@oddball759mm]

Weighting down is a good idea. Shortly after this video was posted though the kit tracks fell apart, I replaced them with new ones from AFV club. I actually did a review of these tracks found here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpqknYmGfJ2laNk

[@andrewluchsinger]

I have a bit over a dozen Italeri armor models. None of the tracks look good without weight added. I do like the job you did on the Priest. I always imagined the solders on the receiving end of the sermon the Priest could give. You built a damn nice model. I will watch the review you did on the AFV club tracks.

Very nice build. Er....I built the Italeri M7 back in the 1980s.

[@punkrockpub]

Great build! DO You recall if there was some additional parts of the kit? I.e. a part that should have fit above the gun, so it couldn't rise. Connecting to the machine gun "ring".

[@oddball759mm]

Sorry I don't recall, It's been several years since I built this one.

[@philpeart7995]

tracks are far too loose

[@oddball759mm]

more like too stiff, these tracks dry rotted out and were replaced with a set of AFV club tracks. The update video is here, kzbin.info/www/bejne/hpqknYmGfJ2laNk
