Photos to post later and then I’ll start fitting the tyres and tracks, ready for weathering

Certain divisions painted them black, or a darker olive. I’ll have to look into it more.Herr Dr. Professor wrote: ↑Tue Feb 20, 2024 3:49 am I think I have seen the blackened star although I do not know how it was done. I would guess it was a crew's "field modification." More commonly the stars were altogether painted over, omitted, or covered in mud to obscure them. Do you have any books on the Sherman showing the blackened star? So many Shermans (and other US tanks) showed only the registration numbers and maybe a small unit symbol or hand-painted name.
