Mack here's a couple of pics of my M1 from ages ago. This is from Tamiya, and there should be a grill in that area, so I'd be careful not to add a too thick slice of card.    |

Not a fan of that type of suspension on models myself, I always end up gluing for a better fit.

Man, I feel your pain over those torsion bars. I hate having to glue them in place; they never line up properly! It takes forever to get anything lined up correctly.

If anyone has built an M1 if a covered this with plastic card instead of PE would it stand out.?  Mack, I built two RFM's M1A1. You'll need to use both, plastic and PE. Look:  In this case, I used an optional plastic part because the "Bad Blessing" tank has the early grill type. Hope it helps. |

Back on the bench with this one tonight. Four pieces of PE, enough to do my nut in. I'll be on with the lane marker rockets tomorrow. That piece I was trying to sort won't be seen so I just glues in the plastic bit and forgot about it.  Cheers for looking in peeps |

Paul, trudat matey.
Smudge, I rarely paint the bottom of my tanks so butting detail on that ain't seen seems a total waste of effort and time.
A mate of mine has just done a full interior then closed it up. He needs help🙄
