Hi there

Here is a pic, only one I am sorry of what I have completed on my sherman. I still have more to add and some cleanup. Any pointers?

Thanks

Sorry about the multiple posts.

Slap some paint on on that puppy!!!

nice kit, who's it from?

like shermies said: slap some paint on that puppy!

That looks like the Italeri M4A1(76)

Yep it is the Italeri kit. My first Sherman. But I have two more fireflys so I am happy.

:-) :-) :-) :-)

So it's your third sherman (as I see fireflys as shermans as well, unless you haven't build them already )

Anyway, go for the paintjob, a nice winter wash and a cold winter crew and you should have a nice Ardennes M4A1.

But are you sure you want to keep those (** how do you call them..mudguards?**) thing that covers the top of the wheels. They were probably already removed by the time the fighting in the Ardennes started. Don't know whether they were replaced or not!

Hi Hasty ...I have to agree about the side skirts as most American tanks show them not installed and it was even ordered in some units because it made maintenance that much harder. one other thing if you are building this as an American tank ..the antennae is british so you should change it for the American type.
Other than that ..well get some paint on it and let's see more pictures.

And don't forget to the take out the step in barrel

Thanks for the info on mud guards and barrel. I will correct and repost in the future.

Thanks

Do you have a nice set of tracks for this baby? Tamiya, Dragon, Academy or aftermarket will give you a better result than those stiff Italeri ones, look better too!
Lookin good, Saw a nice winter cam pat with with wide criis-crossing stripes. Kinda striking.
