Looks like you got nice clean builds of the Sherman and Jeep. Nice job too on the Sherman’s PE. Definitely not for the uninitiated but well worth the effort for the difference. Paint looks good and I must say, I always like a Sherman in camo as opposed to plain O.D.
While I do not regularly dwell on scale accuracy in a review, the builder should note that there has been some discussion on various sites as to this kits’ true scale. After checking numerous sources, the one consistent dimension that I found was that the original vehicle has an 80” (203.2 cm) wheelbase. Taking calipers to the model I found the model wheelbase to be 1.091” (27.7 mm). For 1/72 scale, the numbers should calculate out to 1.11” or 28.2 mm. Obviously from these dimensions, the vehicle can be considered marginally undersized. This is also supported by the fact that the .50 Cal machine guns provided in previous Dragon kits are slightly larger than that in this kit.
In my review of the Dragon Armoured Jeeps you will find the following in the conclusion section...
