Assuming I am allowed to enter my Sherman that I recently submited as a feature I would like to do so.

You may see my feature article for additional information on this project.
Thanks for viewing.

Great build! I like the dusting on the lower chasis and the rocket looking thingy on the side Not sure what's thta but its cool!

Thanks, its a smoke mortar used on Brit and Commonwealth Shermans. Basically its a rifle with a tube attached to the end and I am assuming they used blank rounds to fire off the smoke bombs. The tank I modeled had them installed and I was lucky enough to have the excellent Maple Leaf Models resin set on my shelf. They are current listed as OOP but I am hoping that JP releases them I know I want several more sets of them.

Thanks Rob for clearifying... Yay! learned something today!

I also forgot to mention, your Sherman is a very clean build. Eventho the dust covering it but I can see the good craftsmanship behind the weathering and the fact that dust are more in the front than the rest of the armor give it a animated feel.

Just one thing... perhaps its me... the star on the side panel look little tilted... is that just me?

No that isn't you. Canada (and perhaps other commonwealth countries) tilted the Stars. I had heard two theories on this but I don't know if either is correct. One was they weren't happy with a US star on a Canadian tank so they delibertly tilted them. The other was that they tilted them to attempt to throw the aim of the German gunners off (I guess if they assumed the point was vertical it might cause a miss).

No idea if either of those are right but there is documented proof that the stars were indeed tilted.

Interesting... Ha I would never know if I haven't asked...

Thanks again!!
