Hi Daniel,

That is a good looking Sherman, plenty of stowage which is good, but we could do with a few overall shots to see how it all ties together..
The oil drum on the glacis has a large seam, perhaps you can cover it with some camo netting? And the packs on the rear of the turret look like they have not been attached to anything.

I like the finish of your paintjob, just the right balance of worn, slightly shiny paint. Excellent.

Now show us some larger pic's..

Cheers
Henk

Daniel,
Overall a good job. Couple of things I noticed: The right hand raised piece on the front transmisson cover, (I have no idea what it is) is glued on a little crooked. Also on the front, I think you left off the mounts for the toe hooks. They should go in the square two square holes.
Hope this helps.
You are off to a good start on this one.

You still have that seam showing on the oil drum on the front. Also, you need to add some ropes to tie that stowage down on the rear deck -- one turn and it would all slide off!

I like the overall weathering effect!

Couple of points for you. The packs on the turret rear look american not Brit and a tarp on the engine deck (tied down as already mentioned) I think would look better than a pile of wooden crates. Touchup the rest that has been mentioned and you will have a very nice Sherman. Good job and keep it up!
