Tamiya easy 8

I have had this Tamiya full option Sherman for a couple of years I bought it second hand by the time I got round to doing it up it seemed everyone was doing a easy 8 so I wanted a slight twist to it to be different and since the Americans were testing different suspension and track options I decided to put T81 tracks on it. The turret is a mato unit with the barrel custom made out of a cheap fishing rod I also done one of the figures up to look like captain John H. Millar was hitching a ride. I have other pics on my site of it on http://www.tankworld.co.uk/easy8.html

Good Afternoon,
Great Sherman, Tankmad! Beautiful weathering and use of the MATO turret and a fishing pole ;o) That's modeling!
regards,
Painless

Thanks guys glad you liked it the figures came with the tank when I bought it through my site but I had to weather them with washes and pastels to give them a 12 O'clock shadow as they looked like toys.
