Sean's first tank!!

[sean85730]

Hi all, this is my first effort in RC armor, a 1:35 HL Sherman, in the quirky Russain colours they ended up in when the Brits sent there lend lease Shermans to Russia... it may not be 100% accurate, but I am pleased with it none the less, weathered with a little Precision track brown to give a just out of combat, or in combat look!







Thoughts please guys??

looks good to me , I like the camo and the weathering is about right , nice job

This one will feed the 'Shermaholics' addictions & give them new material to discuss at those meetings they have !!!!!!
Nice twist mate.

Sean,
Great Job! These 1/30 scale Heng Longs look quite a bit like their 1/16th scale one that they released recently and quite a bit like VS Tank's 1/24 Sherman as well. They are well worthy of work and mods and better paint as your excellent example shows. I think that another tanker on the forum, Panther Ausf G, is also working on one in a diorama for the Normandy D-Day Anniversary this year. Here is a quick pic of one that I have had for years. It is on it's first set of mods, second battery and third set of tracks. ;o)

thanks for the feedback guys!

Painless wolf, where do you get tracks for the 1:30 Sherman, as I cannot find any and mine has sore feet



Oh and for those interested, this is how they come out the box
