I finally finished the M7. Added all the tarps over the engine deck (that's a good idea because Academy's kit does not have two air intakes that was exclusive of the early Priests)

I finished and added the tracks either. Hope you like!

I really enjoyed this build, she was a shelf queen for more than 10 years. An ancient, but very buildable model!

I liked the way it looks, maybe I'll try it in the B1-Bis too.
