Thnx for the replies

@ Gerald, I'm fully aware of the stars on the sherman. But I added the stars because I think they look cool . I have a sherman without stars and it looks empty.
You are probably right about the headlights, but I leave it this way. I'm a bit worried I'll ruin the model.

But many thanks for the info.

@ Matthew, Thanks

Martin

A new update:

I've painted the headlights, added some gear (I think this will be it) and added a figure.









Martin

2nd dryfit of the gear. All the gear is from plusmodel. including the rationbox.

This will be all the gear I'll add to this sherman.













Martin

And some more photo's

I added the camonet to prevent the gear from falling. I also will add some ropes to fix everything.
I also added a .50 bullet belt to make thing interesting.
Hopefully you like it



















Martin

hi
great model, just one probulem, i am tempted to do one myself now!! i aint a great fan of the sherman but yours looks really good

neil

Looks pretty Good ,
Nice build .
Might I add some things to make it look better?

Okay the tracks need a tad bit of tweaking just a little loose and as Americans use live track no slack.

Need to really tie that gear in the Rear down,why cause even tho I never drove a tank, I did a duce and a half and there is not nothing that stays put going down the road unless secured or inside.

I know that for a fact.

Overall a great build that is all I can add.

Thanks for the replies.

@ Jeff, I wound change the tracks but I'll pay more attention next time.

the gear has been tied down. And I added some jerrycans





























Thanks for watching
Martin

Nobody?
Are there any suggestions to add more things? Or should I leave it this way?


All kinds of replies are welcome

I can't think of anything to add but wanted to comment those jerrycans you added look downright real. Very nice build and seems like it really doesn't need anything more.

Cheers,

Gary

Thanks Gary,

I think I'll leave it this way. I probably will add a ground plate to make it complete.

Martin

I love it!
Great Job!
I like the detail the most.
The gear in the back is great. Too bad that net hides all that great detail, but it's true to the period.
I should put my Panther aside and jump on a older Sherman I have hidden away...then again...Maybe buy a NEW Sherman...

Hi Martin ;

I think you have done an outstanding job with this very attractive model. I am not in any position to comment on the accuracy of things, and even though I strive for accuracy, I also think like you and if something looks right, then I do it. It's your model after all! I think your paint work is stunning, and the stowage, figure and map add just the right amount of "color" to liven it up. Thank you for sharing your build with us, it is very inspiring and I can't wait to get back to my workbench! Cheers;

Jim

Thanks for the replies.

I've made some better photo (a bit to late)






























Martin

Nice work Martin I really like the stowage and all the little details such as the map and the 50 cal belt. Well done.
