Thank you!

I actually used graphite powder on the bow guns, shovel, wrench, hatches handles and some other place but it doesn't show that much!

I gonna repaint the bow gun with the AK pens (weapon set), it's called black but it's actually gun metal, and their gun metal is lighter than true gun metal but can work for other things, I felt in love with those pens!!! Awesome to paint details but I did not know them when I painted this Sherman last year.
I need to work a bit more on the pioneer tools, I want them olive drab but used with the wood showing through.
Maybe I'll add some micro chains I found for my other Sherman for the fuel caps!
Just noticed I never painted nor installed the 12.7 machine gun. 😬

"I want them olive drab but used with wood showing through." Just now I am far from my books on the Sherman; however, I believe that the tools were finished in various ways: finished in clear lacquer, unfinished, or spray painted in all olive drab. So your choice is absolutely correct for a small amount of use. :thumbup:
