Today marks the beginning of Steve Mottram's "M" group build! I'm build Tamiya's M247, so please feel free to regularly check the thread for updates on the build's progress. Thanks,
~Mike

Wow, a Sgt York! That's an oldie from Tamiya! You never see one of these built up.

Opened her up to look at what I'm working with. Excited, but also wish there were more parts! I'll crack on though
Having issues attaching images, keep on being told "file too large". We'll see how this goes!

No case someone stumbles across this as they're making this kit, here's an unbelievable amount of reference photos for the kit. Really great stuff here.

The LHS had 3 of these, when I commented on that, one of the staff said Tamiya had put it back into production. I snapped one up, but it's far down on the "to do list" and I'm toying with the idea of doing a "what if" build and putting the M247 turret on a M1 Abrams hull, as that's what would have ending up happening by now if they had been able to hit a single target....
