Re: Sherman M51; an accidental build.
Nearly there, currently adding the last little details; casting numbers, tow rope holder and the hook for the barbed wire. All that's left is the spare wheels and the plastic cover which goes next to the idler, all kindly supplid by Thetankman (cheers Gary!). Paint soon!
