Thanks troops for all the positive comments. Truly appreciate it. Encourages me to do more.
I was pondering on Steve's (Aidman) suggestion for a British M5 version... it should be an easy conversion. However, I started gathering materials for this project:

Correct!!....The M5 which was built by International Harvester was virtually the same as the M3. Not visible differrences were thicker armour...(it was less efficient!!) The visible differences were different Fenders, rounded corners on the rear of the bathtub, and the side window armour was mounted on the outside of the doors not on the inside. so indeed not a too difficult conversion. If you ever get around to it i would love to see it..!!!.
