Hello everyone,
today i show you the build of my Vc

First of all ,I printed the tank with Esun Pla+ ,Esun Petg for the tracks but I reprinted all the track with Bambulab ASA much stronger and durable material.


This was a very late stage of construction

Are you sure they're are Canadian? I don't see a poutine, back on a bun, or a bottle of Cinquante anywhere?!

Looking great with all those sweet Firefly details!

Mike.

I think you nailed those VC features that sometimes get missed (3 piece trans cover, bogie spacing and that low bustle turret to name a few). Off to a great start on the Jumbo too.

The turret is a nightmare to 3d model is slightly bigger like,the M4a4 hull which is used for the VC variant ,like you said is longer ,I found the correct length and I was astonished they increased the total hull length by 530 mm.

For the Jumbo I already finished print it ,I require a total reprint for the tracks

I see, FoolProofMike12 that you have been "lurking" on RCTW for a few years. I am glad you have shown us your "Sherman" variants. I am impressed and hope to see more of the results of your skills and knowledge. Complimenti!
