Hi Guys,

I picked this up on Ebay back in April for a song - the seller had it listed as an M4 Sherman. Anyway a few pics showing the before and after... your comments are welcome...

Larry,
A great find and the paint is definitely looking very good. ;o) Keep up with the pics, please.

That's a rather large Sherman. I like it.

I know the Germans did a good job disguising Panthers as M10's but I think this one fails as an M4.

John,

Yes, not a very good job, but I kind of pieced it together. It looks a little light to me -
