i think you are doing it the right way, with lots of help  ;D
so are you going to build it as an m15 halftrack?
thanks for posting those pics, its very motivational to get me off my ass and start working on mine.

Did you mean M5? International didn't build the M15. Great workmanship!

The motor looks like a white. I didn't think the IH engines were flatheads? Am I wrong on that? Anyway looks like your trucking along. Lots of hands make the work go fast.

hi guys,

it´s right, the engine is a white. was changed against the international red.
the original engine will be installed later.

and it´s a M15, because it´s stamped at the frame
all the holes at the rear floor were the same like a M15
at the platform a crane was installed and used after the war.
