Both Shermans are very nice indeed. Well done. Can't help but wonder what the concept behind the chain link/chicken wire was but you captured it excellently. Did you use any AM or was it all kit and scratch?

Cheers, John

PS Actually thought about the wire and answered my own question. It looks like something to hold local camoflage especially during the greener months.

Hi Matt

I used bicarbonate with waterglue. I put the waterglue in the place that I wanted, and then I put becarbonate.-

Nice work. Can I point out a few corrections I would make?

1) Only the upper left light was red. The bottom left was black and both right lights are black




2) The black smoke stains around the cannon barrel are what modelers think should be there. In reality, they should be very subdued

3) the lens on the roof mounted spot lamp should go inside about 2mm more.

Hope this helps

Fresh cut branches could be inserted into the metal netting to improve the camouflage as needed.
