Very nicely done. The wood on the tool handles is exceptional.
Do you have plans to add stowage detail items and some crew figures?

Here's a few of my Fury-ish Sherman. Just basically a redress of a HL, but I was happy with how it came out...

Added the side shelves and widened the front fenders

Homemade gas mask. Made a quick mold and cast out some helmets for this and the American ones
Image

Scratch built 30 cal

This one is finished, but the flash kind of washes it out. If the weather cooperates, I'll try and get some better pictures in a couple of days.

Looks good Capt. Stowage is great, not to much or to little.
Find a muddy spot outside and drive it in and take some diorama type pics to post so it looks like it has a reason for the mud.

So they tell me this is the place for all things Sherman. :)

So here's mine, an Imex/Taigen I'm just gettin' started on. So far it's got a TK22 that's on an HK6S TX and it has a Viper for volume control from the TX. I'm just getting started on the stowage and Capt. Midnight has already shown me that I need some rope tie-downs for this stuff. I'm thinking about trying the .018 from Syren Shipmodel. Thoughts on that? I also like those bedrolls, Cappy. Great job on the .30 cal, did you happen to make a build thread on that? With a little help I might be able to copy that for the Raider (That's the name painted on my Sherman, which I like because it has a faint reference to BSG).

In case anyone missed it, I have a neat little trick for installing a TK22 in an Imex airsoft Sherman that keeps the stock 360 slipring in place and fully functional. Just sing out if you need details on that.

When FDR coined the phrase "The Arsenal of Democracy", he was talking about Detroit. Proud to live in the 2nd most violent city in America!!

Max, take a look at Jasons store on Ebay to get Tamiya parts trees. They are cheap and there is a M26 tree with a very detailed 50 cal with ammo box holder and ammo boxes and some crates.

Capt, just thought of something for those fender extensions. A set of duckbill tracks to widen it out to the fender width.
