My Sherman work in progress until I found it was faulty.
Initially I wanted to do a Fury rep but locating the HVSS suspension is next to near impossible.

Thought I'd give the stock transfers a go while debating a new paint scheme and then I'll air brush the graphics on instead before doing some weathering.

Comments and criticism most welcome as I'm new to this RC side of models.

Merlin,
There's just something about a Sherman that I love. ;o) The HL version is pretty sweet right out of the box. Good job on the markings! I hope that your issues get sorted asap and you get to move forward and have more fun.
regards,
Painless

FAULTY????????????????????????????? 8O ......... No Sherman is truly faulty Merlin....there are just too many variants :haha: :haha:

Both my Shermans are HL based ...started out like this
Image

But now represent like this

Image

to build the "FURY" it is necessary to get the Tamiya though ...it is the only one that is produced with the HVSS suspension
the two new entries by Taigen and Mato will have the same chassis as the HL
