Ok here are what picture i have:

this was the inspiration







From there I set out to start building the chassis





at this point i realized that my rear axles were not right so back to work.







now it looks better the issue i was having was i was and still am working off of a 1/72 scale model, the next point was to start securing it together.









once i got all that figured out then it was time to start the front mounted winch.







now that this was done I needed to start on the body and as Tamiyacowboy can attest I SUCK at body work and paint, so I got help.





















And at this point I started work on the rear of the M26 more pictures to come

Tanks guys and for some more pictures.

I started on the rear of the M26 with the 5th wheel plate and the A-arm for recovery missions.













these are the last pictures that I have I will get some more of the newer stuff I have done ans well as some of the Trailer sections I have started. I did rework the rear A-arm mounting plate as I was not happy with it. I also will add pictures of the platform with the welding tanks and stash cubby as soon as i get them taken. What is taking me so long is the fact that i have to add two more winches at the rear and I want it to look right as well as be functional.
