M4A3E2 Jumbo

Post by Ecam »

UK friendly / Imgur removed

I wanted to attempt a Jumbo and wasn't aware of an available turret. So I made one.

I am working on shuffling pictures around so I can upload. I primarily work with sheet styrene and lately Bondo. Cheap and cures fast.

Way to go! I see resourcefulness in your your Sherman Jumbo build, too. Over 50 years ago--oops, maybe more than that--as a young teenager I used Bondo on model cars. I remember that it was messy black stuff, heavy, and tough when dried
I see two M10s lurking in the background. Is the one on the left a kit and the other a Mato?

They are simply sheet styrene cut out with templates. Kind of why I chose it for my first scratch build. Figured, how bad could I screw up flat surfaces?
