M7 Priest, 300 Field Artillery Korean Conflict

This is my build of the Italeri 1/35 M7 Priest that I did for a Korean War vet who fought with the 300FA. It is mostly OOB with a few modifications: Eduard equipment bins, Tamiya suspension, Academy tracks, Archer transfers. Just some simple weathering and some pigments for dusting effect.

It was nice to build for someone else. I didn't let AMS overtake me because I knew that the recipient wouldn't care if the faces on the instrument dial were correct or that every rivet was in place. I highly recommend any of you who might be facing "builder's block" to build for someone else. It'll get you through and you'll have made someone else very happy.
