Good evening,
Your friend is a lucky guy indeed! This Sherman is a conversation starter for sure. When the paint serves to draw out the beautiful detail work instead of hiding it, you know you have hit the mark in all ways possible.
regards,
Painless

Hey Adam,

That's a first class bit of model building. This stands tall among the many Shermans we've been fortunate to see here. It looks the part. Great work.
