Hi, everybody!

For this purpose I chose a set from DML:



And decals from Bison:

Nice start, Dmitryi. Always good to see a colorful shermie.

Keep it up!

Will certainly be following this one Dmitriy. I recently built Cpl Rex Millers III from the same book which was featured in SMMI.
Don't forget that the turret stowage box is different to the one supplied in the kit and PE set.
Good bit of Kiwi ingenuity too where they used an old sandshield for the rear stowage box

Thank you for information, Gary. I knew about turret stowage box before, but don't think about rear box. Very interesting. Do you have any photos with such boxes on NZ Shermans? And where I can see you model you talk?
