Very tastefully done, Adam- as usual

:
BTW,Highland weather is seldom suitable for painting until about April/May. It's frustrating. At least you're getting a surprise 18c (

) down south lately.

I don't think anyone can say that Shermans are boring after seeing that picture. Great looking fleet.

Primed the hull outside today as the weather was great.
Should have a painted lower hull end of the week.

My friend has a real Sherman with the same mantlet and cover -
I copied it directly from this - bits of plasticard and an old hanky!
