Great looking 75, that's just about the right amount of stowage for me and the light weathering looks spot on too

Another great tank. Are those rolled tarps resin pieces? They look great. Fyn really outdid himself on this one.

Those stowage tarps really are THAT good. Mr Frank finding painted ones are even better.
What do you use for scale tie off rope Mr Frank ?
Cotton is to thin, where most other string types are to thick .

The '75 Sherman is nicely done too.
If one of them was available out of the box by H/L, i would get one.
The standard 105's just look odd to me.

..found the "rope" in a sewing shop...not sure what its for...embroidery perhaps...

Bingo.............embroidery.
I had a thought for a second you might have said from a damn dolls house shop

On a side note, any idea what those funky wings/guards are on the mantlet beside the barrel ?
We have explored this ages ago, but always good to bring it up in case there is a body out there that can shed light on it without calling Scully & Molder

According to the shaddock website they were to prevent bullet splash..I suppose to get a bullet in the gap between the barrel and shield you'd need to be directly in front of it..not somewhere I'd like to stand...

Yip, all makes sense.
I can only assume that the fact they appear to have been deleted on later versions meant they really were not needed, or didnt work ?
