Another of my older Resicast models.
The instructions were very hard to see and read but eventually it came together. Much trial and error, trimming carefully and lots of adjustments needed to get the skirt correctly fitted and seated properly. Lack of detailed pictures for the photo etched parts slowed the building process.

But I liked the finished product. Clean and almost flash free resin.

Ps. One of the blades from a prop is sitting on the turret marking, my apologies, it is now back in it's proper location..

Nice one Keith.
One thing I'd change is the whiteness of the headlights?
The canvas looks just that; well done!
As Al said, a diorama should be built
Cheers

Brad.
I will dig out my reference books and find the picture that shows some DD Shermans had White 'Opaque' lenses inserted in the headlights either instead of or over the clear ones..

Thanks for the great comments....I never take offence at them...

Keith.
