This is not my first ever model but it is my first serious attempt at a model for about 30 years (pre aftermarket gizmo's). I have chosen the Dragon BOB M4A3 (76)W VVSS and decided not to get too carried away with counting bolts but have tried to make an honest effort at something a little better than OOB.
At this stage I am ready for the final coat prior to decals and weathering.
The tracks are temporarily secured for the purposes of the pic.
If anyone has some constructive criticism or advise on ways to improve I would be grateful. Just remember I don't confess to being a bolt counter .

Hey Alex!
Like the finish. That looks to be a good shade of Olive Drab...
One thing though- is the barrel glued in already? It may be hard to paint without masking a lot of the tank.
Like the rear lights; they've come up well
You could pick a worse kit to build out of box, because by the looks of it (I have yet to gets me one;) it is a marked improvement over any (76) Sherman I have seen... Comes with good detail and some corrections

P.S. Forgot this was 'Rivet review', so I'll lay a little gripe or two (read:Constructive criticism!;)
The left track at the rear is a little skewiff, as is the spare track holder above. There is a periscope guard missing off the left periscope on the turret top... That's all!!

Gday Brad,
Thanks for the comments. The olive drab is simply Humbrol Matt Olive Drab (#155) straight from the tin.
No the barrel is not fixed in yet and will come out for it's paint job.

Cheers
Alex

Hi Alex
