Well guys, my Sherman is finished, my fastest build yet! lol

Here she is;







Tell me what you think guys!

Cheers,

Looks good to me
But where's your battle unit?

I like all the detail and that is a good looking Sherman! Nice to see another good guy out there too.

Thanks for the comments guys. I did want an Allied tank, and the M4A1 75mm, with a cast hull, is my favourite variant. I also didn't want to do one until there was a working VVSS suspension.

The battle unit is on my list of parts to get. I need two more receivers first, as the one in the Sherman is from my Tiger, and I need a new one for my Panther.

Here's some more pictures from the build thread;

Looks great, think you should paint the string holding the gear on the rear deck though

Thanks mate, I have since stained the string with tea, and am going to add a neutral wash to make it look like rope. I'll change it once I have the tarp there.

Cheers,
Rik

Clever idea using tea - I used masking tape painted Khaki then cut into strips to act as webbing or straps!

Dude I am in awe!!! Im aiming to do an M4A1 with the Tam turret on a Mato hull, how is urs made up? And where did u get the gun mantle and turret hatches or did u make them urself??
