This is my latest project. The kit is the Tamiya M1 with the Mk1Designs photo etch set added. The stowage is from Legend and the figure is made from a modified Tamiya figure.
It was a fun build! Here are some pictures and comments are welcome.

Hi Terry

Good job on that Sherman and a good match for the OD.

I really like the faded star, how did you do it?

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks Ole!!

The markings are from Archer Dry Transfers. I put them on before much weathering was done. I misted them with some lightened OD and after some dry brushing the faded look appeared.

Very nice work you've done with the kit and the figure! May I point out two things I've noticed?

1) The PE artillery sight in front of the commander's cupola has gotten inadvertently mashed down. Maybe straighten it?
2) there's a prominent mold line on the TC's left thumb.

Hope these help
