Looks great, Tim. A lot of really nice small details on this Sherman. It has a nice dusty look to it.

Thanks for sharing

Eventhough Shermans are not my favourite, there´s something about this version that stands out more than the rest. Yoú´ve done a great job Tim ... excellent build and paint job. The figures are top as well. Nice one.

Great build! Wow, it almost looks like a 1/1 scale. I have a question, what paint did you use for this sherm? It looks like a faded olive to me, was it acrylic? I get so confused, some builds I see on sherms are dark dark green, some are on the lighter side like this. I prefer the ligther side like this one.

Fill us in, right from the primer on up to the filters etc.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Tim,

Great work and a really 1st class finish. Not my favourite versiion of the Sherman but a cracking job and it's good to see a full crew in the tank.
