Thank you gentlemen. I have to admit, the cast hull wasn't my favorite of the Shermans, but it has sure climbed the list with this project!

Mike gave me the hull several years ago. And it took me this long to get it started.

Ooh! Ahh! Ooh! Ahh! I have always favored the cast hull with the cast turret. Ooh! I am so ;D. You're a modeling hero!

Herr Doc,

You are too kind. I wish I had the talents that many here possess. My tanks are 10 footers. I get them close enough for me, but I fall far short of the tremendous builds found on this forum.

I use Bondo as well to create parts and to add strength. Nice builds.

Doc,
I love a Good Sherman! and this one ticks a ton of boxes for me. Beautifully hand modeled and best of all, it's ( or will be soon) RC. ;0)
regards,

It is close and now that I can post videos, MIKE, I may have proof.

I just love these subtle digs that you manage to squeeze into your build threads; proving that you have less couth than the average rowdy.

I would be interested to see this along side my early production. The differences largely are quite subtle, apart from the suspension and the transmission cover. That being said, it’s about time someone started doing Sherman’s. Another fine example of something that’s not a tiger
It’s your tank it’s what you make it
