I think it looks 100% awesome. My favorite version of Sherman.

Hey Q,

Its the Tamiya kit. Used engine deck and rear lower hull from Tamiya M4. Just deleted all the jerry can racks and spare road wheels from hull. Cut the stiffeners out of the muzzle brake, Shapeways light guards and exhaust deflector--I HATE PE. Scratch built the camo roll and rear stowage from Apoxiscuplt and used PanzerArt covered .50 cal. What I don't like are the unique to version antenna mounts. I just couldn't get them to my satisfaction.

I just saw your newer pics of this build on the Sherman Shop Forum. Looking awesome, Jeff! Hope you don't mind the "double-posts!"
