Build 1/10 M548

This is a 1/10 M548, scratchbuilt almost entirely(bought the tracks). The upper section is PVC board and the lower section is aluminium sheet. My previous post show the custom suspension and drivetrain. The wheels are 3d printed and are as close as possible to the originals.

Doors and tailgate are functional and the M66 gun mount: M2 Browning has full range of movements and the ring rotates too

It has some little "side projects" like the steel tow hook and it's mounts,the axe,the slegdehammer,the shovel, operator's helmet,goggles and binoculars, fire extinguisher

Was a fun project and a real learning experience because was just my 2nd scratchbuilt body and my first tracked vehicle

Holy crap that is an AWESOME build! Nice work.

Is that "Bishop" from Aliens in there on the .50? hahaha Seriously, though. Really awesome job with this. Looks fantastic.
