Just about finished the build phase. Will have to wait until later in the year as we're in the process of sorting out moving into a new house which is currently under construction. Lost my painting area to storage for the time being.
Anyway, back to the model...
Tasca Sherman V
Resicast Crab Mk I Conversion Set
Bronco T74 Tracks
RB Models 75mm barrel
Voyager Pioneer Tool Set
Assorted PE update sets
Brass rod/tube
A challenging but enjoyable build. Needed a little TLC in places and improvements are made by replacing some resin parts with styrene or brass. The resin flails were the most challenging part but I understand the latest sets come with ones cast in white metal?
The Tasca kits falls together without any issues and various PE sets from my extensive spares box adds the necessary details.
The flail drum is dry fitted still so may appear a little 'wonky' in some pics. Otherwise, if anyone sees anything I've missed, please sing out

Your detailing is exceptional, Gary!! That flail drum would probably have given me a stroke. Looking forward to seeing it painted..
