Hi, you did a fantastic job with painting and weathering this.

One error that jumps at me is the 50 cal ammo box is upside down -it should look level with the shell ejection port. Hopefully you can saw it off and re-glue without too much trouble.

What paint did you use?

Hi Melih, nice job on the Sherman. Painting and stowage look great!
I agree with the ammo box, looks like it's upside down. Also, the commander cupola hatch seems to be upside down. It looks like the inside is outside right now. It should bulge outwards. If it's correct this way I guess HB made a mistake...

HTH!
Cheers!

Thanks for sharing your pics. The ammo box is upside down and on the wrong side. It should be on the left side of the machine gun. Also someone pointed out that your commander's hatch is upside down too. Final item: Only the upper left oval on the tail lights was red. The lens beneath it and both right tail light lenses were black. Hope the corrections aren't hard to do.
