Thanks Choppa. The tooling is still quite good. It has some flaws (rollers) though.

I have an ESCI T55 and the holes on the wheels aint centered properly but the rest seems nice molded though I do not like the plastic tracks, I would prefer vinyl-rubber tracks

The tracks in this M48 aren't difficult to build, they fit OK. I think all ESCI AFV kits (or most of them at least) had the length & link style of tracks.

Thanks everybody for your kind comments on my little model.

Choppa, I couldn't even imagine there were 1/72 RC tanks! I wondered why you prefer rubber tracks when every modeller in the world hates them! Now I know. I also built a couple of motorised Academy 1/48 German tanks when I restarted the hobby some years ago. Though funny looking at them running on you room floor, I still prefer static models...🙂

at first glance, i thought 35 scale! then i read... old esci.. quick build... then i was depressed again 🙂
 22 July 2014, 20:09
Jesús Alcocer Autor
Come on! It's really an easy build. Don't feel depressed just for this tiny thing... 🙂 Thanks for your comment.

Album info

Italery 1/72. The old ex-ESCI tooling for a quick build and paint to portray an US M48A3 in Vietnam. I used oils and pigments to enhance the weathered look. More pics and a step-by-step article on my site: www.j-models.org
