Sherman II

[blimp]

Sorry Doc , not white - My custom 'sun faded khaki drill' - a darkened deck tan tone with white drybrush highlights .
To go with the heavily sun tanned skin of the figure

"Darkened deck tan tone with white drybrush highlights" I need to remember that!

Another masterful build, Blimp! Great work on the surgery to backdate to the early model, and lots of unique details to make it a proper British tank.

The vertical 'Venetian blind' panels I did with thread , convincing enough I think.

Now it's done

Love the work with the Sunshield, Blimp! The British military deception programs certainly make for some unique build opportunities. An inflatable Sherman next?

Fantastic idea and execution

Sir, you are a genius.
I'm sure it has never been done before on a 1/16 RC Sherman.
It looks very accurate.
It's original, we'll done, I love the idea and the result!
