ACF image as custom column on admin screen.

I have created a custom post type and I’m trying to get an image selected from ACF as the column thumbnail. I do not want to use the featured image as it is already being used in a way that does not make it suitable for the column thumbnail.

I have this code in my functions.php which adds the new column:

/*-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	Custom Columns
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------*/

$model_pic = "<?php get_field('model_photo'); ?>";

add_filter( 'manage_edit-model_columns', 'my_columns_filter', 10, 1 );
function my_columns_filter( $columns ) {
 	$column_thumbnail = array( 'thumbnail' => 'Model Photo' );
	
	$columns = array_slice( $columns, 0, 1, true ) + $column_thumbnail + array_slice( $columns, 1, NULL, true );
	
	return $columns;
}
add_action( 'manage_posts_custom_column', 'my_column_action', 10, 1 );
function my_column_action( $column ) {
	global $post;
	switch ( $column ) {
		case 'thumbnail':
			echo '<img src="' . $model_pic . '" width="100" />';
			break;
	}
}

Everything seems to be working except the image does not show a url source, it’s blank:

I have the Return Value for the ACF image field set for Image URL.

I have tried everything I can find about displaying media objects and everything I try is not working. Is this not possible maybe?

Thanks in advance

did it works when you do this:
delete $model_pic = "<?php get_field('model_photo'); ?>";
and add $model_pic = get_field('model_photo'); after global $post;

but i know it is possible
