Hi Chris,
The Sherman is coming along very nicely. You made the right choice with changing the tracks and barrel both are pretty bad.

Howdy Chris,

Your M4A1 is coming along just dandy. If it comes out half as good as your Jumbo did, she'll be a stunner!

Keep us posted.

Tread.

Oh, is this for the Sherman Campaign or?

Chris
Looks great so far Please be careful with the RHPS tracks The pins on the track pads can be a little fragile
So when putting on the end connectors over those pins don't apply to much pressure

I have had those pins break off when I had done my first set
