Hello !!! It's my first time posting here. The kit is the Dragon M4A1 76mm (w) Operation Cobra.I did some rivets on the wheels and used Lionmarc brass skids. Now i'm working on the tracks and on the chasis. Please excuse my poor english.

Hi Popa
Some nice work on the rivets there mate!
Look forward to seeing further progress. There are a couple of things to change on the kit to more accurately represent the featured tank which I imagine you are aware of so won't elaborate...

Nice start.

Looks like going to be a super build.

And good luck on those Rivets on the wheels will keep an eye on this build.

Thank you guys for your welcome. I had worked a little bit on my sherman. I tried to correct the turret ant make it a T23 turret cast by USC. Now i have a big problem and i ask for your help: how to make the serial number on the turret and if you know the serial number for the turret of this tank.

There's a great walkaround of an M4A1/76 here which will help with the details of the fenders and the engine deck which are wrong on the DML kit. The two filler caps either side of the engine access hatch shouldn't be there.

Nice going so far Popa.

Only thing I would not of used Friul tracks on this one as most pads Rubber anyway.

Dragon DS in my opinion would of been more then better.

Nice setting will look real good I am sure.
