...frustrated with waiting for paint for the Brummbar..(should have done it OD)...made a start on another build..so far mounted a HL upper hull to a Mato bottom and lowered the Mato turret so it sits better...tackling the mantlet/gun barrel next..

Mornin'
I just figured out what the stock gun on the plastic Mato Sherman would look good as...the 3" gun on early U.S. Tank Destroyers. Different mantlet, yes but the barrel is the right length and diameter. You probably already knew this, Frank so apologies. ;o)
regards,
Painless

Frank,
Those mantlets look good when done properly like that. Following along.

Good morning, Frank,
She is beautiful in the industrial manner of American tanks The storage and details really make this Sherman catch the eye. Kudos on the Tamiya hulled beauty as well. ;o)
