Looks really good. Couple pointers though. One, needs an antenna on top of the mounting base. Two, where is the .50 cal? I know there was a Sherman somewhere that didn't have one mounted, but I think it looks better with it. I like the base and setting too.

Hi guys,
Thanks for the comments. For the antenna it's not there because..the pics were taken before i add it. For the .50, i did not put it cause they were not very popular with canadian sherman crew..when you look some time period pics, you can see that many ,not all though, don't have any gun installed.
Thanks again

That is quite an impressive build and the groundwork is fantastic.

Really noice work there Luc, the weathering matches the groundwork perfectly. The tank is well built and detailed. The only small point - would the 'V' on the spare track links be bright metal or would it have weathered to the same colour as the rest of the link?

I did not put it cause they were not very popular with canadian sherman crew.


Yes, it apparently could restrict your ability to get out of your tank when hit and, given how much more likely it was that you'd have to bail out versus the number of times you were likely to shoot at an airplane or stick your head out to shoot the MG at a ground target, the trade off was clear...

That weathering job is great! Very subtle, did you use pastels?
