Okay dudes, some of you guys pushed and pushed, so here ya go. Lord Chaddy, I knee, I knee, and Lord stooperd Anzac II. Here is the stooperd M4A3 Sherman from Tamiya OOTB. It's a quick build, and since I know zero thing about Shermans, so, I didn't do anything whatsoever to correct it. To tell the truth, I don't even know if the tracks are rubble or metal, LOL.
Now Lord Chaddy, I knee, I knee, what's the big fuss about a sherman? it's BORING!!!!!!

Good looking Shermie Dave.
You owe a lot to Zod, aka Lord Kenworth, for introducing you to the wonderful field of olive drab armor modeling. With as busy as you are, I am surprised you have time to build anything.
This oob build looks good. Decals are crisply applied, tools look good, weathering looks good, especially in the first pic.
Hey, you get a campaign ribbon dude
Congrats on completing your build.
Signed
Kenworth jr (tm)
ps: Helga will be proud!!!

now all the rotten bugger has to do is a truck for me!!!!!!
looks good Dave but I think a few lessons in painting OD from WWH would make your model stand out more.

Hi SS-74. Your OOB build looks good. Just a litle thing, the star in the front of the transmition cover seems to be a bit twisted.
Congrats

I can think of a detail or 2 to add.
1 drill tiny holes ion the bullet splash guards near all filler caps,to allow rain or tears of fustrration to drain away.
2Put little styrene rods to represent the light mount cover holders on the inside area of the front headlight guards.
you can see their location if you look at this;
they are the white things.A muchlie needed and overlooked detail.
the reast of your tank looks verie nices!
