I recently swapped this kit with Lee (model builder 4) and she's getting close to ready.
Just need to dirty her up a bit.

Looks cool!!

Hi Del,

You've done a cracking job on the build sir it's nice to see it all together rather than me looking at a box of bits , look forward to the weathering stage now,

Cheers, Lee.

Looking good more pic's when you've got her used & dirty.

Looks good but didn't you stick a 76mm barrel on her?

Yes I did stick a 76 on her.i didn't like the howitzer thing and Lee kindly sent me the 76 so in she went.
I'm still trying to think of a name for her and think I might make some logs up to hang on the sides later.

76 mm had different gun mantle as did the 75mm. Don't know how detailed you want to get but I think the 76 would require a different turret also. The shorter 75 could use the same turret and with some care the current mantle can be modified the look correct or a resin one put on (usually sold as a gun barrel and mantle kit) .

It will get a turret change at some point,I'm not really looking for the most accurate just something I like the look of.

That's the whole point for most of us. Build something we like. Who's to say for sure that your version never existed as a one off done be a maintenance co. (clever people in the field) out of parts from unusable tank wrecks.

I would love to see that build as a fully fledged easy eight. Ya cant have too many Sherman's in my book
