Sherman IIa

Having done this Italian theatre Sherman once before, I felt I had to tweak the finish as over-weathering occurred and had to be done again :{ (serves me right for rushing it!) So, the usual strip down was necessary for another light coat of Olive Drab on the upper hull only. I may have flopped the other way this time, but its easier to add than take away. Patience is a virtue as they say. ;)

Don't change it? Really? That's very good of you lads :) As said the bottom half remains with dry mud effect which I'm happy with and I guess I'll go with your advice then :thumbup: One of frankie's recent crew has had his moustache removed and a wild woodbine placed in his mouth :D

I would like to post bigger pictures so that you can see a bit more clearly, as I have put Italian slogans in the dust on the sides of the hull. I've seen it done with chalk in Europe in real life pictures. Italian-English translator on Google to the rescue! :D Basically, its written with a thin brush with the same olive drab and looks like fingers in the dust.

Now that the IIa is finished, I can get on with my 1C hybrid 8)

Cheers lads :thumbup:
