USMC Sherman

[GreenAmphibian]

I have been working on this project for about 3 months, and still have a lot to do to it. Mostly details and weathering, but here are some pictures. "Wanda" has a modified Mato metal suspension on her Tamyia hull, metal duck bill tracks, servo recoil, flash and IR in the barrel, opened front hatches, modified Tamyia/Mato idlers, deep water fording stacks that are half removable, Pershing MF unit, and will soon have a working (LED) MG mounted in the mantlet.

Well Done, Pacific command Sherman? Nice clean lines which Technic did you use to create the pattern? Any more pictures this is an excellent Sherman really well done sir.

I have other pictures of the build. I have taken some artistic license with the camouflage pattern. The colors are right for the Iwo Jima landings and some variation in the pattern was normal due to it being done by the using units. Some were not done at all and remained green. The wood on the sides is real wood also. It was used to defeat the Japanese magnetic demolitions.

Here are a couple pictures of my progress on the details. Can anyone identify, by name, the two packs?

The Pacific theatre was an very interesting battlefield for our Marine armor units,your tank just keeps getting better.
