Always liked Pacific Shermans and this is no exception! The weathering on this thing is brilliant and perfect for the PTO. Love it.

Wow,is that real wood on the sides and front or did it come in the kit? Sure looks like real wood to me! A masterful job on the weathering!

Excellent, well made and great use of the available resources for the plywood armor. Also great weathering. Only thing I see is the spare tank on the rear, they didn't use the stuart mounting brackets, it just was straped down like this;

Congrats very nice model,

Thinking about it, you might want to do a write on your build and your resources, really isn't much WWII Pacific stuff out there.
