This is Tamiya's 1/48th scale Sherman. It's a great little kit, and builds up very fast, though many of the tools are molded on, and the sponsons are open. The OD is my own mix of black yellow red and a bit of green. Weathering is done with pastels.

Yes zod I will add an antenae.
I did not know the wrench was natural metal, so I figured it was OD, I guess I'll have to fix that. (++)

Good effort here with your Sherman. I like the paint/weathering you have achieved. One of the turrett stars might be a tad bright --- none the less, this is a fine looking model

Will you be switching to an MV lense in each headlight?
Also for an antenna,try one of your cat's whiskers,it would scale out about the correct diameter in 1/48th!
