Hi Alpha,
I like that. Almost coming to the end of what I can do. Made 2 spare wheel holders I used two support
Rollers from a panzer IV. Made up the rear panel the exhaust don't know what to do about that. Also got to make the two brackets at the front I think there for the barb wire!!.tonight will spray the bits in that I have made and fitted today. Will post some photos when it's dried.Brian...

not 100% accurate ,unless you are doing a later mod then that's on the engine cover .......

Hi Canned,
That's a good shot I cut the access doors in half and rejoined them looks ok because you can't see much of them. The last bits came from Germany today the turret ring and some sprues and the MG bag. So just the turret and bits now. Brian...

Well just about done the main hull just a few odds and ends to make up. The fuel/water can holders and the lower barb wire strap. Final colour will be Israeli Sand Grey,UA20 used between 61-73. This is made up from 33% Xf-57 Buff,33% XF59 Desert Yellow,33% XF20 Medium Grey. Here's a few pics.Hope you like em. All I need now is that dam gun support also made the spare wheels removable by two bolts in each. Just in case one gets blown off . The last photo is the colour.Regards to All, Brian... Sorry this was at the YOM Kippur War in 1973 ...

Brizo,
The work has been done neatly and sweetly. Your Sherman will be one to be proud of for many years to come. Looking forward to ongoing work and photos when the turret arrives.
regards,
Painless
