Looking good Doc

Doc,
Great looking Sherman! The racks and the bags are extremely cool! Nice mods on the Commander as well. Suggestions? Paint the lenses on the cupola a glossy dark blue or deep green. Drop the handle of the axe down, it's up for some reason. Dirty up the rope in front and throw some dust on the running gear and lower hull. Stars too if this is an American tank. Build yourself an aerial too. They look grand swaying along with a pennant on them while the tank is clanking across the landscape! These things are never done, always something else cool to add on. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Very nice doc the sherman is an addictive tank I'll doubt you'll stop at one I'm up to 5 different variants at the minute and got my eye on a few more

Dear all

does anyone have a couple of idler wheels for a Sherman ?

[greengiant]

Since you built such nice sandbag racks you should fill them up with sandbags laying flat and fill them to the top. All the real pics of those types of racks are filled that way.

Although I don't do allied tanks, if I did it would be stowage, stowage, sandbags and more stowage. Maybe a pin up girl painted on the side like USA fighters or a name.

Have fun ! Dava.
