Hi all,

I wanted to enter this model for the Korean war campaign. But I´ve started already so I can´t enter.

But here is my "old" M4A3 POA CWS 5H


.quarantatre.com

I've added some extra's of newer Dragon Sherman kits
AFV Club suspension
Jordi rubio barrel
Formations tools, and fenders
verlinden .30
some small home made improvements and some Eduard PE













almost ready for paint

















Martin

Martin, that looks fantastic! Great work! Can't wait to see it with some paint on it, as that is one exceptional build.

Rod

Did you need to do much extra work to get the AFV Club suspension to fit the hull?

Tim

Martin, great work on the POA. I see you have jumped back to work right away. Sorry you couldn't enter it into the campaign. I hope you will find another project for it! After all, it's a year long campaign.

Cheers!
Stefan

Thnx all.

@ Rod, some final work has been done and it's ready to paint

@ Tim, No extra work was needed to fit the AFV Suspension on this lowerhull.

@ Stefan, thnx. I hope I can inspirer some people to build this Sherman for the Korean war Campagne. I don't know if I will build something else for the campagne. We will see

Martin

i am in the middle of building this one but in the orange box with bonus usmc korea infantry
Did you find that the rivets at the front holding the finaldrive housing to the upper hull wasnt a very good fit and was a little bit to small ?

next up

prime time

fresh paint

Coming along nicely, keep it going! I like the two barrel look, reminds me of computer games I played as a kid...

Cheers!
Stefan

result after some respraying with dilluted tamiya Dark Yellow and washes with oil paint.

Spot on with the weathering. Are you planning on adding any rust or pigments?

No rust, some pigments as mud/dust.

Here is the result
















Martin

Super build, and just an outstanding effort on your weathering. I use the phrase "used but not abused" a lot, and your Sherman fits that to a tee. It just fits my conception of what the real deal would and should look like.

Looking better with every post. Spot on with the weathering, not too much, not too little. I always like the look of those Formations tools.

Cheers!
Stefan

Wow Looks great! I am going to start a build myself and was wondering how you did the mantlet cover attachment (Snaps?) points Thanks for any help Cheers Mark

Martin, great job on this one! I've got the Orange box version ready for paint as part of the Korean War Ccampaign. Quick question for you; how many track blocks did you end up taking out of the DS tracks to get a good fit? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the kind words.

@ Stefan, I've to buy more formations tools for all my projects the are great indeed

@ Mark,
I've used some evergreen plastic strips, cut it in square parts and drilled a hole in them.

@ Guy,
You have to remove 2 blocks to get a nice fit.

@ Rest, I've taken some snapshots form the movie Sands of Iwo Jima and Halls of Montezuma for the pumming on the site of this POA CWS 5H flametrower.














enjoy

Hey Martin ,Wondering what size evergreen strips did you use for the mantlet? thanks in advance Cheers mark
