Hi Tony,:-H
Hope to see your M4 soon!
This kit is from TASCA. And this work is just the OOB. The kit's quality is very good. The feeling of building this vehicle is one words: """HAPPY MODELLING"""
The turret is assembled by upper piece and bottom piece. So there still needs a slight works on the rear of turret. Besides that, everything is well. The one piece rubber track is also highly detailed and accurate. And it matchs the running gear perfect. At the normal watching distance, it is hard to distinguish it from ModelKasten...
The khaki drab for the commanders uniform is the mixture of khaki drab, buff, and dark yellow from TAMIYA acrylic paint.

To the every friend above,
The cactus is made of CLAY.

Excellent job, Henry. The Sherman looks very cool and fits well into the diorama. I think I will copy your way of making Cactus.
Thanks for sharing
