Here's a list of pictures from my Formations resin M4A2 conversion. I have some more photos, but some of them have been seen before in the Allied forum. At the moment, this one is on hold. The weather in Holland is too warm to paint properly.
Rear view on the engine deck, plus the rack for the jerrycans. I'll mount these as block, when the kit is finished. The Marine tanks on Tarawa had eight jerrycans on their rear plate, as seen on
www.tarawaontheweb.org
Here are two view of the painted model, just after basecoat, line washes, gloss coat and decals. I also added a shiny rim to the wheels. The line washes look fairly dark in real life but I think I can tone this down with pigments.

Close up of the front end. Note the added details to the lights. These are not mounted, as photos show Colorado did not have them. And yes, the plugs holders are mounted on the outside, where they should be in. But there's NO way I'm going to refit them
I also knocked off the siren, so this needs to be refitted. The mounting plate was bent from some aluminium sheet. Very easy to do, but adds nice detail.
