John! Wow, talk about a speed build! Looks really great too!



Thanks a lot! The build was easy enough. Now it's time for some paint. Hopefully soon.


Micheal, looking good, keep it up!

Hi people. I finally managed to find the time to get some paint on my Firefly, still needs a lot of work though.

Hi guys. I'm far from being a Sherman expert, so i'd like to ask a question. In the pic below, in the red circle, the kit's instructions show two big areas of the rear side hull, painted in white. That seems a little odd. I searched for profiles that show this, but didn't find anything. Does anyone know if Dragon's profile is correct?

Hi all,

Going to enter with Tasca's M4A1, this kit came with a Aber barrel, but otherwise it will built straight out of the box.

Nate, I'm right there with you. I'm entering with the same kit (including the Aber barrel). I hope to start mine in the next week or two. I look forward to watching you lead the way!

Sorry it's been a while since I posted last. But I have got a little bit done on the M4A3. I made a rudimentary interior for the hull that you will only see a bit of through the hatches. Next I will hit the suspension and track. That's all for now.

Cheers
Todd

Hi,
I have not been able to work on mine for some time but did manage to add some more shermans to the stash along with some others. Picked this lot up at a local auction for $100.

Cheers Rob.

Nice haul for $100, Dragon! The Tascas are worth that alone!

Thanks Pat.
I just thought that because I will have all the hatches open on the tank, you will see a bit of the compartment even with the crew in the hatches. Some of it is not a 100% accurate for the Sherman, but what little you will see should be accurate enough I hope.

Cheers

Todd
