Well pretty much - a little sanding for the shield side I missed. Painting to come. Any suggestions for color/markings and for figures(other then Tamiya) for North Africa?

Next the paint. Anyone got good resources for a North Africa Theme???

Olive drab or dark green on Dark yellow was usually the color. i just painted a braille scale Sherman with those colors. I don't think the M3's had them.....

I don't have any references, but I wanted to comment that the M3 looks like it built up really nice.

Another vote for the Green/Yellow camoflauge with the oversize US Stars and Round Surrounds. Would look great on your model.

Well done by the way!

Thanks guys. The camo idea sounds good to me too. I'll see if I can find some pics to match it up. Maybe do Sicily instead.
