Ps... that boom is really strong...is it supporting the weight of the tank...or is it the angle of the camera? .. looks to have the front of the Sherman lifted off the ground 8O

I think the construction is impressive as always..are you going to add more of the details that were shown in the photos?

Wish you had some photo's of the construction phase of that boom... Personally I think it's the hardest part in a build like this... to build it and have it be structurally sound ;)

Everything matches well... the crew and trailer really add to the entire package... but dang fynsdad... is that a metal tow hitch?...It took less than a second for mine to break off...can't imagine towing anything with it lol
