...anyway on with the build, that's most of the basic tank done, just needs tidying up/detailing, then on to the stowage :D

:O By Golly fynsdad... that is just amazing! that mantlet sure came a long way fast... and by the way.. I forgot to mention how much I like the attention to detail on the engine deck lid

I have to say ... she's another beauty... and am anticipating the desert siren that will adorn her :D

Good Morning,
Seeing how 'right' Frynsdad's IDF-M50 looks with the long barreled German gun on it sparked a memory. Weren't some of the first Shermans that the fledgling Israeli armored forces put back together set up with the 75mm Panther main gun? It's looking great, Frynsdad. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Frynsdad,
*Laughs* I knew that 'Panther' was in there somewhere. ;o) Thanks for the handy info, my friend.

Painless

Dang fynsdad... that still looks pretty complicated... unless of course you have one stashed away in that plethora of tank goodies ;)
but for some reason even if you don't... you'll probably whip one out with amazing detail :D

Have a great day fynsdad :thumbup:

Now were talking. That is starting to make my Super P barrel look insignificant. :)
