That front cover had me fooled for a real one!  Nice work!  Looks like a pleasure to run!

A role model for when I do my sherman

very nice paint job, yes the klear does darken the paint alot and you think what have i done but after some washes followed by a highlight then a matt it comes back to near the original finish, once again well done
regards,ice

Its a very good job how long did it take from first assembly to painting?

Thanks again all.

I recieved the tank in Febuary 2007,second hand,and stripped it down within the first week.
I never planned on doing any extra detailing when I first stripped it,just a repaint was all I was initially going to do to it.
I kind of got carried away with it after I bought the periscope guards and cut out the front hatches,and once I worked out how to do the welds it gave me confidence to try more as I felt I could convincingly add items to the tank with the welds added.
Had quite a long period where I got really distracted (and still am to some extent) by rc cars and did nothing to it for a very long time.
I also work full time and have 4 children,so the actual time put into this is probably not as great as it may seem.
Most time has been spent in research,which I find most enjoyable.

Thanks again.
Steve.

I have a Tamiya still in the box to be honest I am scared to death of it I am not that experienced at putting them together

Tamiya kits are really easy to build out of the box, just follow the instructions. My Tiger was the first model i've built in over a decade, and it was running in less than a week, that was only putting in a couple of hours a day.
Cheers,
Rik

Well that's a confidence booster thanks Regards Andy

just follow the instructions and the are easy to build, It took me a week to build my Pershing and a bit longer to build the Jagdpanther because I was waiting for parts

I am just finishing a Whitmanns Tiger off so the Sherman will be next on the List
