SSModels

If you read my thread about the M82 TD, a 3D printed model, the company makes dozens of models. Rather than have a thread for each, Let's keep it in one for those who might want to weigh in.

I'll start! The one I am seriously considering is the M2A1 Medium tank, basically a pre-war predecessor of the M3's and M4's. The biggest challenge for this one would be the lower front hull face. I don't think the Heng Long Sherman gearboxes would fit. I would have to compromise, call it a "late M2/early M3" hull! On the plus side, envision four mg's flashing at once!

I had been considering an M3 Stuart as I have an extra M5 at home that I was going to convert to an M8 HMC. Since they released an M8, it seems like a good candidate for an M3 Stuart. :)

I've been looking for an M75 or an M59 APC, but it seems that even SS Models doesn't have one despite having a ton of obscure vehicles.

An M3 Stuart would be great, especially in a North Africa livery.

So, I did order the M2A1 Medium tank. We'll see if they are real. For those wondering my costs and shipping: it was listed at $199, it went into the cart at $180 and shipping was $44. They are described as resin prints. There are YT videos of some of his offerings and they look smooth as expected for resin. I'm guessing they are printed on demand since there he lists a ~30 day production and shipping period. If one shows up in a few weeks, I'll start a thread for it.

More research; here's a YT short of a 1/16 M3. Detail looks good, no immediately apparent layer lines.
