Gaddis Games M6 heavy tank

I got a good size box in the mail today from Gaddis Games containing my kickstarter rewards which included their new American M6 heavy tank. The concept for the M6 began in the interwar Era and was quickly accelerated as Germany began rampaging through Europe. By the time the design was considered good enough for production it was dropped by the army ad it was decided that the M6 offered no particular advantages over current available armor that various design flaws didn't cancel out. Of course none of that matters for alt-history where all the paper tanks can come out to play. Lee please bring us a SARL 42 to go with this alt history goodness.

I'll start the review with the box, it's definitely nothing flashy but at least you know what you're getting and I guess I haven't been paying enough attention but it would appear these vehicles are being made by Company B who make some good stuff.

I didn't take a picture of the box right when I opened it but it was this bag and like 3 or 4 packing peanuts which makes me somewhat nervous to open it. Interestingly it looks like the track and hull are just one solid piece so assembly will be a breeze.

Yeah assembly will be real easy. This isn't technically 4 pieces, the 2 pieces on the right broke off on shipping, they are part of the track guard. I don't know how easy a fix that will be because they are quite flimsy I may just trim up the remaining bit of track guard and paint it like it was never there.

There were some bits thrown in, an MG and some stowage, but to really be an American tank some additional stowage will be needed to just pile on this bad boy.

The turret fit on kind of snug but a little sanding will solve that. The sides have some odd texture that seems to come from 3D printing and I'm not sure if paint will cover it or not but I'll find out down the line.

Here is a Gaddis dragon portes and a warlord US GI for scale. I honestly thought this would be bigger, it had a crew of like 6 or 7 but maybe it's a cost saving measure. It's a good looking kit, needs a little cleanup but I'm sure it will come out nice in the end. Unfortunately I recently moved house so all my paints are still packed away, which is also why I haven't made a post in some time, but I hope to be up and running properly soon. In the meantime I'll be doing a photo dump from bugeater and reviewing the 2 player starter set I got for empires fall so loom forward to those soon.
