Early m4a1

[Exhibitedbrute]

Just a few brown lines the markings and lights then it will do

[Herr Dr. Professor]

This is just splendid! Are you preparing to make conversions kits for sale? Or will I just waste away sighing?

Hi,
Very nice.

Looks great. Did the early ones have periscope guards?

[Exhibitedbrute]

Firstly I am toying with the idea of a full conversion kit but the small hatch conversion is already available along with an engine and exhaust defuser for a2

Second I haven’t seen any photos with periscope guards. Some didn’t even have periscopes

Welcome viewers back to the a1, well now show season is over, back to the a1 to hopefully Finnish her off, in these photos, the wheels are finally on the lights are finally on, note there are no guards, reason one I have seen photos of them with out reason 2 I felt it looks better without.

Also in the photos an imagining of what decorations to add to the front

[Exhibitedbrute]

Well she’s been a long time in the works but she finally ready.
Here is my version of the m4a1, made using nothing more than a few black and white photos and a mig cammo paint book.

Also while I have been not so active here I have finally got the printer working and the first print from it is nothing to do with tanks at all but anyone who grew up in the late 70s and 80s will recognise the part.

Between all that I decided to make an m4 and to a overhaul of my m10

[Herr Dr. Professor]

I DO like the early M4A1! And the camouflage scheme says "early war," too. Well done!

About that M10: is that a Mato M10? Egad, how I would like to get my Mato M10 to actually function correctly in one way.

[Exhibitedbrute]

The m10 is a resin kit but because the turret would have been more work than I wanted to do to get recoil etc I bought a mato turret for it

[Ecam]

I like them both, well done! I feel that this Sherman is the ONLY one that looks good with sand shields. And although I lived the 60-70s, have no idea of the puzzle part. My brother, who is considerably older might.
