Hey everyone. I just wanted to post some pics of my very first Sherman that Im working on. Im not at all a Sherman guru ,so any feedback you can give me would be of great help. The model is still in the weathering stages so its still a bit shiney. Im also going to add the steel tracks from AFV Club.

Hi Tim,

Now that's a Chinese Dragon :-) :-) :-)

Is it art work or decals. An interesting and fun camo scheme, both the tiger and dragon being important Chinese symbols.

Cheers

Al

Tim that's great and the best of both worlds for you Sherman and a Tiger :-) Great finish
I don't know enough about Korean Era Shermans to see any shortcomings.

Thanks guys for the replies,and compliments. The Tiger face was all painted by hand, except the yellow, which was airbrushed. I forgot to mention, this was the Dragon Thunderbolt kit. The only thing I had to buy was the tracks. The kit came with the infantry radio seen on Korean era tanks, and the antenna bases had to be scratchmade. Hopefully I didnt miss any details, but like I said, this is my first Sherman.

Outstanding job on your first Sherman. Excellent job on the Tiger face. The only thing I noticed was the turret top MG mount seems too tall. May just be the photo angle. Excellent job.

Stunning work Tim, that face must have took a fair amount of time and care to get right.

Looks great. Stunning tiger face. I did not want to be in a trench when this one comes charging at you :-)

Thank you for sharing
