When I’ve finished my Twin M4A1E8 project, I thought that they were the last Shermans I’ve built. But I bought another partly built Tamiya Sherman already with T66 tracks and lot of Schumo bits, including T23 turret. For now I think it’ll be the Thunderbolt. And here we go:























And there are some photos I’ve found on the internet from the beginning of the building this model. I’ve to admit, that it was made by very tallanted modeler - the real Master...

Wow, Eddy!... already you've assembled some perfectly in-scale Tools/accessories, and ersatz parts Each one is a mini work of art, and worthy of a detailed pic
Looking forward to more visual treats!

I’ve already bought the model in the stade You can see on the photo. I’m just starting the work on it.

A veritable treasure trove. This thread will be fun to watch. Congrats, Eddy, on a phenomenal find.

Wow great work.
Much of the details are post war though they are pretty fine.
May you wanted some additional reference about Abrams' Sherman Thunderbolt VII, please see mine I did some 5 or 6 years ago now.

Beautiful Eddy. I remember when you got this, amazing brass work.

I believe Manu is right - Thunderbolt has an early T23 turret with split hatch but you could change it?

The first pics on my site are stills from a colour video showing Thunderbolt VII passing a group of German prisonners.
No mistakes permitted after watching this.

Thanks!
There are some photos from previous owner that I found on the internet:
