This is a "little" something I did to practice my painting. It is a M4A3(105) w/HVSS by Dragon. I replaced the handles with wire, but everything else is OOB. Thanks for looking and comments and questions are always welcome.

That quarter definitely put this in perspective for me.

Nice job. Eyes hurt much?

Yeah really. I always miss what category I'm looking at until something like the quarter grabs my attention.

I really thought I was looking at a 1/35th tank! So, overall it really looks great!

Terry,

Nice job on the Sherman. I've built a few of the Dragon offerings, including the VVSS version so I appreciate what's involved. The cover around the mantlet is particularly eye catching.

Cheers,
Jan

@redraider - Terry,

That looks so good that you can just come right over here and practice your painting skills on my builds at anytime, until your eyes hurt !

Great work - I agree that mantlet cover is an eye pleaser

That is some amazing work! My eyes hurt just looking at it. I may be wrong, but it seems like you used the early war stars. The mid-late stars are not circumscribed. I'm not a rivet counter and don't want to be one. Just something you may want to consider for future builds. Again, great job! I look forward to seeing more from you.

Thanks!! There was a division that used this type of star all through the war, I can't remember which it was.
