Carol,

Great collection! Bandais may not be up to par with the 1/48 releases of the past few years but they are good kits. Here's my Bandai reviews

Matthew [firstcircle] built a beautiful Pzr IV a few years ago.

Is that M4A3E8 in the back the Aurora?

Hi Carol,

Beautiful examples of the Sherman tank type and its derivations.
Just one minor issue: I guess that the drape on the engine deck is a air recognition one. If so, they had 4 colors: cerise, yellow or blue, with a white back. These colors are bright so they can be seen by a pilot from a distance. Maybe you should lighten it up?

Looking forward to see more of your collection.

Hi, can you tell me how to make the camo out of teabags. It looks great! And I'd like to use the same technique on a. Bosnian M47 from the 92-95 war...
Cheers
Matthew

Cool group of Shermans! Love how you got the steel and dirt colors down on the first one.
