This is my second sherman in a month.Its a Tamiya 1/16 scale sherman 105mm howitzer.going to start on the weathering tomorrow then add all the stowage and figure.The kit is a joy to put together,as always with Tamiya the fit is good and instructions are strait forward.Now ill have to buy the King Tiger to sit next to it i my cabinet.cheers for taking time to look

Not a knock on your excellent build, but... for the few hundred bux Tamiya gets for these kits one would expect some better detail, like periscope guards, 3-dimensional grab handles, etc. Any 1/35th Italeri kit provides these parts.
Thanks for the up-close pix!
