Hull is from RichJohnson over on RCU. Tamiya chassis, with Taigen upper. It was easier to swap a IR turret than try to convert the airsoft to recoil. Schumo, Aber, and Axel's details. Shapeways open periscopes arw gouing on the front hatches. IBU2 and ETO transmission are going inside. T66 tracks are going on after paint.

Take plenty of photos - I'm not familiar with Shermans, so I'm a little lost on what you've done.

Base coat done.

I love these Shapeways periscopes. They come with the inside as well in case you open the hatches.

Just got finished detail painting. Next come markings and weathering.

Markings. I need to pick a USA number that's in the right range.



.50 cal.

Ready for weathering and stowage.

Thats a seriously nice easy 8! Love all the detail you have added, especially the 50 cal.

Thanks. The commander's mg for me is what helps take it from a toy to a model. It even helps make the stock tanks look much better. The stock guns look too much like toys.
