99% Done with the build, just need the machine guns in the front glacis plate. Need to do a little clean up and then the next photos will be with paint.

Decals added, details and tracks painted and on.










Wash done, all that needs to be done is the flat coat. Could not do it this weekend Because the humidity was over 70%, Tamiya flat coat frosts on high humidity days. Add headlights and its done.













Thank you all for the comments and motivation.

Even without its flat coat, your M2 is looking seriously good  :) :)
